Change the look of your folders by adding pictures to them

This is one of my favorite tweaks to add to my computer when I am setting it up. Not only does this make my folders look great, but it also makes them easy to find. It is always hard to distinguish between folders when there are so many of them and they all look the same.

Here’s how to add a picture to your folder

  1. Simply right click on any folder and choose properties (You can only change folders that you have created. For example you cannot change My Pictures,)
  2. A dialog box will appear
  3. Choose the Customize Tab
  4. Then press on Choose Picture and browse for the picture you want to use
  5. Then press apply and then OK

That’s it.. Your picture will be on the folder.

This is very cool.It can be a nice way to sort out your folders which contain different things. Having the normal folder icon is at times boring and changing to a new look is a very nice way to make them more interesting to look at.
