Not working. Registered fine, but every time I start it, it comes up with: The file 'MSTechFolderIconBasicShellEx.dll' is not a SharpShell Server error. Have un/re-installed with no improvement, and no right click options.

I have tried trial version (Basic) and Thumnail Preview did not work. Also Update Thumbnail did not work - threw error exception..

Dear Jan,
Thanks for your comment, to use thumbnail update, you need to set a color for your folder and then, update the thumbnail.

Wish I'd known to pick an installation path for folder updates before the initial install. Activation setup is illogical. Script errors in help file. Other than that is a useful addition to your file explorer.

You can change the installation path. When you run the setup file, click the "Options" button (on the middle center of the window). Then you can select your desired path to install the software.

Too many error messages, hard to uninstall. Lots of warnings from my anti virus software.

It's simple but useful application, with an unlimited source of colors to customize the folder appearance. Also, the only folder icon customizer on the Internet which supports folder thumbnail view.
Enjoyed it, Thanks GOTD and MSTech team.

DarkoSan, you can create your own colors and labels and priority just by clicking on any folder with the right mouse click, properties and then customize. Chose of the icons there or you can download 1000s of them for free from many web sites.

Mike, you are right, to avoid the process you mentioned we are using such software. Also, your way doesn't support folder thumbnail for window-style folders.

Does not allow custom location for install!

The additive mixing system (RGB) uses the mixing of "own colors" from light. The main colors of this system are red, green and blue. When light in these primary colors are merged, one gets white light.
This system is used in the screen technology, among other things. It cannot be applied for mixing with paint, only for mixing with light.
All other colors are mixing colors, where not always the difference can be seen between two or more shades of red, for example. In other words, it's harder to see if many brochure icons look just like the same thing so that one doubts what color it is actually.
