If you seek to attain better control across your system and its characteristics, one aspect that you might be interested in looking in is folder types on your local storage. Windows generically controls these through the corresponding desktop.ini files. Editing these will consequently change the folder type one of the predefined windows system entries, namely general items, documents, pictures, music, and so on.

SetFolderType, just as its name suggests, facilitates this operation by adding a context-menu entry to Windows Explorer, which will allow you to basically select the folder type for entire directory structures in just a single click.

I appreciated how easily the application deploys and allows you to quickly access its features for changing the preferred folder types. Its main working principle relies on implementing a corresponding Explorer context-menu entry.

This will allow you to easily select one of the predefined folder types and assign it to your preferred directories. General items, documents, pictures, music, videos, are some of the supported folder types.

Using the app, you'll be able to basically skip manually editing corresponding desktop.ini files. This is highly the convenient and efficient in allowing control across the characteristics of the preferred folders.

However, in order for the changes to take effect, you will need to make sure that automatic forward type discovery is enabled in Explorer, which would basically allow your system to check the folder contents and determine and set the folder type.

Offers a very convenient way for changing directory types on your system and local drives. Implementing a dedicated Windows Explorer context-menu entry, it will allow you to easily select one of the predefined folder types and assign it instantly, without having to manually edit the corresponding INI files.
