Hi all,

PROS:

* Downloaded, installed, activated fine on Vista x32 OS.

* Simple, straightforward GUI.

* Easy to use.

* Supports English/Russian GUI languages.

* Allows icon changes to be made to single or multiple folders at once.

* Allows icon changes to be made to sub-folders also.

* Allows customized folders to be made distributable.

CONS: - A Minor Inconvenience for Users of Win Vista, Win 7, Win Server 2008, Win Server 2008 R2 - you'll need to download the WinHlp32.exe executable, to be able to use the "Help File" within this program. You may download it at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

Summary: - Program is easy to use and does as it says - so 2-thumbs up for today's giveaway. Thanks, GOTD and ArcticLine.

For those of you interested in a larger selection of colors, here you get infinite colors from a rainbow slider:

You can set hue as well as saturation—so you don’t need to keep large numers of individual icons….:-)….

I remember this from last year: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/folder-marker-home-3-0-1/

This is the same version.

Let's see the comments regarding a certain folder picture come rolling in...

I have used this since it was last offered ages ago. The main advantage is that you can change a bunch of icons at once. I used it in the beginning to put a big, dark green triangle/arrow (a Windows standard) for folders I wanted to stand out where there were long lists of folders (like in My Docs). Since then, I find it just as easy to use Windows regular Change Icon in Properties--easily accessed by r-click---so I removed FM from my r-click menu and haven't missed it at all. I would now open it only if I wanted to change a lot of sub-folders in the same folder to the same icon. Another reason I stopped using it is that it adds another file to the folder if you want the icon to move along with the folder when you move the folder to another directory (it takes it along with it). I still have it installed, but it's 'cleaner' to change your icons with Windows (so you don't have that extra FMarker file linking the new icon to the folder).
