介绍了MFI（Multi-Folder Icons）工具，该工具允许用户轻松地为不同组的文件夹分配不同的图标，便于快速识别文件夹结构，特别是在驱动器映射或同步项目的情况下。在文件打开对话框中也能显示这些自定义图标。

Introduction

Example of mutiple folder icons

There are two ways to change a folder icon in Windows:

Change the icon for a specific folder (right click an choose "Customize This Folder...")
Change the icon used for all folders globally

But what if you want to use different icons for a subset of folders ? Why would you want to ? Consider the following situations:

You have a drive mapping (or subst) that sometimes points to one set of folders (say production) and sometimes to another set (say development)
You have two connected machines (say your laptop and your desktop) with identical folder structure for synchronized projects
You want to quickly identify parts of the folder structure
err...
...that's it.

In all the above examples the ability to select an icon for parts of the folder structure can be a real benefit. Unfortunately there is no easy way in Windows to do this (you could of course change the icon manually for each folder !).

Multi-Folder Icons (MFI) lets you do this easily - the image above shows it in operation with several distinct groups of folders shown using different icons.

Many File Open dialogs are implemented using an Explorer view so you also get the benefit of the custom icons when opening and saving files:...
