Changing an icon

Right-click any file or folder in Windows Explorer and choose the icon option from the context menu to give it a distinctive, custom icon.

Tag and rating overlays

If you use Tag+ and Rate+, your tags and star ratings show up as small overlays right on the icon or thumbnail — so you can spot tagged or highly-rated items at a glance without opening them. See the Tag+ and Rate+ guides for details.

Restoring the default icon

Use the same context menu option and choose the default/reset entry to restore the original system icon for a file or folder.

Rounded thumbnail corners

On the Icon+ page in Settings, you can have File Explorer show image thumbnails and icons with rounded corners.

Turning it off

If you don't use custom icons, turn off the icon options in the right-click menu on the Icon+ page in Settings.
