Lovely while it lasted..
I loved it until it quit working. I've tried installing it many times, but when I choose it from the context menu, it only brings up the setup.exe file. Very sad to lose it.
Pros:
Ease of use
Cons:
No longer works More

Excellent Software and highly recomended!.
Tried all sorts of folder color programs, this is by far the best and is easy to use.
The paid Folder Marker version is useless, do not pay for it. As soon they have a new version you are not able to install any previous versions of there Software. Be aware do not purchase Folder Marker.
Rainbow Folders is top notch!
Hopefully the developer updates this excellent program. Cheers
Pros:
Everything

Right click option to choose color More
