Special Script to change color to folders or see files
« on: June 29, 2012, 06:20 PM »


Under windows xp pro sp3

1. change the color to a folder shortcut in the desktop.

2. change the color to a folder in miniature view .
for example from yellow to green



3. See an image in the desktop.



(as a miniature. I have seen something similar under Ubuntu)

Best Regards

It is a little difficult to understand what you want from us.

What am i doing bad ?
I don't see Color my Folder change the color to a folder shortcut in the desktop.

-so it is not a folder, but a shortcut?

or ... ?

In the desktop is a shortcut to a folder or a shortcut folder.

In the second point 2.

It's a folder in miniature view to change color and remain in the miniature view.
I see the soft change the icon , but in the miniature mode don't change the folder color.

if you're talking about the Colour my folder software, I think you're better off posting in a "Colour my folder" thread (I dont use it myself).

I am not talking about Color my folder.

I am beginning to think don't exist software for this. I know several colouring software for folders and any does over folder's miniature view.

;D

what "soft" were you talking about then?

I'm not supprised, it seems like a pretty major hack...

I am not talking about "Color my folder" program suggested by Curt. Talking in general.
And I think too that is a software difficult to get, like a free label for folder names and files in a special way I will comment in the future.

The three targets I propose are not very common. I have searched in the past with no success. And I will try again in the future.

Best Regards.
