Review

This review applies to version 1.4 The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

Folder marker is an icon changer for folders that can be run on XP and Vista. It doesn’t make many modifications to the system settings. Each folder can be marked with its own priority settings: high or low priority, planned work, approved work, etc. Well, this is useful if you have a lot of folders and you need to easily recognize the folder that you are working on. Shell extension to easily change the icons is available in the Pro version.
There are a lot of built-in folder icons to choose from, including the whole letters of the alphabet, but this is available only in the Pro version. Of course, there is a feature to add our own icons. But there is no icon editor, and we cannot customize the icons provided.
It doesn’t make many modifications to Windows; it just uses the feature of Windows to change the icon of a folder. Windows usually stores these settings in the “c:\documents and settings” folder. Thus, making customizations in each folder can increase the folder size. No other registry settings are made, so this program is completely safe.
Settings to restore all the default icons, refresh the whole cache, or restore all the changes we have made, are available. One thing, be sure to restore the changes when you uninstall the program, because the icons and the program are too much related.
The folder will display the icons, even if the program is not running. It is a good program, I liked it.
  • Simple program.
  • Can add our own or extra icons.
  • No icon editor.
  • Can increase the size of icon cache and settings for Windows users.

I couldn't agree more with Guest #101690801, this happen to me with other programs that were freeware I thought I was downloading the lastest version instead I was downloading shareware version. I own many paid programs and software.informer is great to keep software uptodate.

The latest version of Folder Marker Free is still v1.4.0.2 - Not v3.0.1 > This version is for the Shareware versions.
Software Informer is a great program, but where it fails is in not detecting whether the software is freeware or shareware.
I run into this all the time and if I were to update all programs as suggested, I would run the risk having to pay hundredsof Dollars to buy all these programs - for me simply an impossibility.
Also, it results in numerous useless downloads of shareware programs I'm not going to buy.
If people are not careful, they would install the new versions, only to realize that their "old" program has been wiped out and if they're not going to buy the shareware version, they would have to re-install their freeware version again.
IMHO -an exercise in futility.
