Editor's review

     It is very difficult to find a particular file if you have many similar ones to choose from, because windows assigns the same icon to all the files. Change Folder Icons is a tool for finding icons and replacing the standard folder icon with any of the other icons found.
     Using Change Folder Icons is very easy, you can do it very easily, simply and quickly by pressing the right mouse button on it and selecting pop-up menu item "Change Folder Icon". You can also change icons for several folders in one run or cycle of search. You can also change an icon of the drive as well as folder by selecting the item "Change Drive Icon" from the drive pop-up menu. Also, search icons in all your computer files starting with the selected folder search icons with specified parameters "Number of colors" and "Size in pixels". You can also easily extract icons from any type of files (.exe, .dll, .lib, .icl etc.). Export all icons from the file to .ico-files (the last two functions work in Win'95 too).
     Change Folder Icons allows you to find thousands of icons in your computer and make changes of Windows folder icons simple and fast.
