Organize folders by color

posted in edtech |

Computer file organization is a challenge for anyone who creates “stuff” on their computer. One of the things I love about the Macintosh operating system is that it permits you, by default, to organize folders of files with different colors to make things easier to find and use.

Today I learned about Folder Marker, freeware software for Windows computers that provides similar “folder coloring” functionality. According to the website:

Folder Marker is your small assistant, an ardent fighter for your convenience and comfort in any kind of computer work. Use Folder Marker to mark your folders. One mouse-click and it becomes clear at once, which documents have a high priority, and which of them have normal or low priority. Which operations are finished completely, which are half-done and which haven’t started yet.

Excellent! And the price is right: Free. Thanks to Karen Montgomery for this tip.

On this day..

    I can’t take all the credit for passing on Folder Marker. I received it from Martha Bogart at Cooperating School Districts. I have downloaded it to every computer I use and have started marking my folders.

    And Kim Komando spotlighted Folder Marker this week as one of her cool sites of the day. (I subscribe to her Cool Sites of the day and Tip of the Day columns that are emailed daily. These are great to share with staff.)
