]]> Hi, how are you? Today we will continue to see how to customize the graphical aspect of Windows 10. Specifically, the folders. Personally, I love giving a personal touch to the devices I use. This includes themes, wallpaper, mouse pointer and of course, folders. Also, customizing a folder makes it easier to locate it. Well, in this post we will detail the process to customize the look of the folders in Windows 10.

How to change the color of the folders.

For a simple modification, just change the color of the folder. Unfortunately, Windows 10 does not allow you to make this modification natively. But don’t worry, I recommend the Folder Painter application. This is a third party, free program that changes the color of the folders in Windows 10. It also integrates perfectly into the context menu. Well, once you’ve downloaded and decompressed the file, you just have to run it. Then click on Install to add the option to the context menu.
