Lovely Folders is a customization tool for Windows folders. The application is capable of giving individual folders a new appearance by changing the standard folder icon in a few mouse clicks. The application includes a broad collection of icons to choose from. In addition, it can generate icons automatically according to the folder contents.

The application has a user-friendly interface and is very easy to use. To change a folder icon, you need to select a directory and choose a customization option. You can pick an icon from the built-in collection, browse through your files to find your favorite icons, or you can set the app to generate an icon that represents the folder's contents. Icons are organized into several sets (video, audio, graphics, Mac OS style icons, etc.), and the app recommends the ones that are most suitable for the selected folder.

In addition to changing the folder style, Lovely Folders enables you to add a background image to your folders and change the font color. Another nifty option, which is not available in the free version, is the possibility of adding a short description to any folder in the form of a tooltip. Additional features let you create a template to customize multiple folders and rebuild the system icon cache, should an error occur during the customization process.

To sum up, Lovely Folders is a powerful user-friendly utility to customize and enhance Windows folders. It is easy to install and use, includes a large collection of icons, and lets you easily select the most suitable style for your folders. The trial version is free and can be used during 7 days.
