How to Use FolderIco to Organize and Beautify Your Desktop

Quick Start: Installing and Applying FolderIco Icons in Minutes

What you need

• A Windows PC (Windows 7, 8, 10, 11).
• FolderIco installer (download from the official website).
• Administrator rights to install.

Installation (2–3 minutes)

1. Download the FolderIco setup executable.
2. Double-click the installer and follow prompts.
3. Accept license, choose install folder, click Install.
4. Restart File Explorer if prompted (or sign out/sign in).

Applying a folder icon (30–60 seconds per folder)

1. Open File Explorer and right-click the folder you want to customize.
2. Choose the FolderIco menu entry (e.g., “Change Folder Icon”).
3. Select an icon from the supplied packs or click “Browse” to use a custom .ico file.
4. Click Apply/OK — the folder icon updates immediately.

Using icon packs & bulk changes

• FolderIco includes themed packs; install or import them via the app’s settings.
• To change multiple folders: select several folders, right-click, choose FolderIco → apply icon to all selected.
• Some versions offer presets (color + badge) for rapid styling.

Reverting changes

• Right-click the customized folder → FolderIco → Restore Default Icon (or use the app’s “Restore All” to revert many at once).

Tips

• Create your own .ico files with an icon editor if you want unique designs.
• Keep a backup of original folder views if you use bulk operations.
• If changes don’t appear, refresh File Explorer or clear icon cache.
