Changing a folder's name text colour.

Well, as the title suggests, how do i change the colour of the text in a folder's name created in windows xp pro?

Many thanks, Phil.

You can't

You can't in XP alone. After a google search I found this, it's the utility from 98 that let you customize folders such as text color.

Clicky!

Hope that helps ya

Ahhhh, is that what it is? Just tried it and it works just like i wanted. Although, if i compress the folders to display the text as blue, could this damage the file contents, such as music files?

Thanks

Impossible

Hi there

There is a way to change the Folder and File Fonts...

Create a hidden file with the name desktop.ini in the folder with this content:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=C:\WINNT\OFFICE.GIF
IconArea_Text=0x00FFFFFF
[.ShellClassInfo]
ConfirmFileOp=0
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=3

I'm not shure what all lines are for but I found out why the writing was in white...

Cheers

Yes, freeware is called "Desktop Icon Toy". V4.6 is what i just downloaded. Under "options" you have to "disable text drop shadow to allow changing color", then select "Miscellaneous" > "change text color". Works perfectly.
