Most people are not aware of the fact that folders in Windows 10 can be customized in a number of ways. Let’s face it; a folder is probably no more than a good way of organizing information. It never really occurs to people to customize and decorate them. If you are one of those people who like playing around on your computer, the good news is that folders can be tweaked in a couple of ways. This customization is not just aesthetic, however. It can actually be a good way of further organizing your workspace. One way of customizing your folders in Windows 10 is by changing folder icons. By doing this, you are able to add a personal touch to your work. So, how do you change folder icons in Windows 10?
Changing folder icons in Windows 10
To change your folder icons on a Windows 10 computer, you need to take the following steps;
- Right click on the folder that you wish to customize.
- Click on “Properties.”
- Click on the “Customize,” tab.
- Under “Folder icons,” click on “Change Icons.”
- Choose from the many icons that are offered.
- Click on “OK,” when you have made your selection.
- Next, click on “Apply.”
- Finally, click on “OK.”
Note that the steps that are outlined above will only change the icon on one folder. If you wish to change the icon on another Windows 10 computer, you are going to have to go through the process one more time. Let me repeat that changing the icons on your folders is not just for show. It can actually be a useful tool in helping you organize your workspace. If, as an example, you have a folder that contains your employee files, you can choose to change the icon on that folder to one that depict people on them.
