first of all 10x
second.. :) .. that doesnt help me so much..
i don't want to change the icon of a folder or file.. cuz i can do that thing very easily in windows..
what i want to do, is to change the color of the name of a file.
like in that pic i made.

if you or someone could find ( or create :) ) a program or a way to do this, it would make my life so much better :)

No way to do this built into windows.

Not heard of a tool that will do this in explorer (not that there isn;t one, but never heard of one).

There is a completely seperate program called Explorer++ which DOES do this (Well it will change the text color, not the background).

Explorer++ is not as "pretty" but has a lot of functionality built into it. And it's free.
