The yellow folders that we can make on the desktop for storing files/shortcuts in.
Can we make them another colour?

Not with the tools that come with Windows. But you can change the icon to any other icon of your choice. Or you can use 3rd party software like iColorFolder. Note I have not used this program.

I am using iColorFolder without complaint except that the colors are limited. It integrates into explorer.exe as a right-click option, and will change the folder to one of 7 colors: Red, orange, yellow, pink, green, blue, or gray. Quite helpful in indentifying specific folders.

Thanks for that doc and welcome to D-A-L.

How long have you been using it and with what version/SP of Windows?

Been using it for about a year with XP SP2 (fully updated-manually).

It has been a 'non-event' application. Most of the time I just forget that it is third-party. Seamless integration and color change effects for folders that do not want special icons but need identification.

For example, when I upgraded my Mother to XP (long-time '98 holdout) I went through her directories and changed the color of all the folders that would be risky for her to open/change to red. (Windows/Program Files/Application Data, etc.)

It has been a 'non-event' application.

The kind I like. Thanks.

Me too!
