Folder Marker Pro

Although your company's paperless practices deserve a commendation, your amount of work to be completed per day is unchanged. Simply put, your workload moved from filing in paper sheets to managing directories on your computer.

Folder Marker Pro enables you to customize folders on your local drives based on your own criteria so you can find and access them faster whenever necessary.

While it does look and feel old-school, the interface is clean, simple and intuitive. The UI it is divided into three sections that also indicate the steps you need to take to mark a folder.

More exactly, you can select the folder you want to change in the dedicated upper field, decide on the icon that makes it easy to identify and apply the modification. The application allows you to mark one or multiple folders at the same time.

It is worth mentioning that the folder icon options in the Additional tab are rather limited to apps from the Microsoft Office package mostly. In this case, Folder Marker Pro could benefit from a function that allows you to extract and use the icon of the programs you are using.

It can be argued that you can use Windows' search function to look for a certain file or folder on your local drives. This can mean wasting more time in some cases, especially when your search is based on a keyword that is regularly used in file names and tags.

Since it allows you to mark folders in a way that makes them easy to spot, Folder Marker Pro can eliminate the aforementioned waiting time. Then again, you need to know the location of your folders on the drives to actually save time.

The program comes with a nice feature, namely that it integrates in folders' context menus and can be accessed with ease when needed.

If you are constantly working with a high number of directories, Folder Marker Pro can prove to be the little helper you need to boost your productivity.

The application can help you keep things neatly arranged on your computer, but mostly if you implemented an organization system already.
