Yellow folders are back!!
Dennis5mile Looks pretty meh. Yellow folders are a very archaic thing, I find very useful in Unreal Engine 4 option to mark folders with custom colour and I wish file explorer and other apps support this feature. I guess little skeleton icon can be hardly recognisable for some people but filling icons with yellow without any customization option looks too lame for me.

on Windows explorer folders i used to use tools like this

the built in options already allow for selecting icons from very old set if icons or browsing for custom pictures. imagine Edge insider would have the same abilities!

HotCakeX Thanks, I'll try some of them. File Explorer has a critical flaw, it doesn't transfer folder setting, folder icons resetting to default every time after Windows updates, so on the fast ring, this solution becomes useless.
