Change Icon

While most users know that folder icons can be changed in Windows, not many of them take advantage of this feature. It can be very helpful when organizing directories, which is why this app may interest you.

Change Icon is a small utility that makes it simple to select a different icon for your folder, but its most interesting feature is the fact that it can download graphics directly from IMDb, helping you organize your movies and series.

While it is possible to change a directory’s icon without third-party software, this application simplifies the process quite a bit. You just need to select the folder and icon, and you can then revert to the original one at any time.

It is worth noting that the program allows you to extract icons from a number of sources, including EXE and DLL files, so you should have no problem using graphics saved to various formats.

If you have selected a folder that contains a movie or TV show, the application can attempt to identify it and download its poster from IMDb to be used as a directory icon.

Keep in mind that the program requires a specific naming scheme to detect the title, but you can just enter its name and year in the Icon field if there are any issues.

Change Icon can be very useful if you want to set different icons for multiple folders, but it is especially useful for grabbing posters from IMDb and using them as icons for your movies and series. It is a fairly simple program, featuring a rudimentary UI, but it is relatively easy to use.
