    Changing folder font color


    Hi, I'd like your support on how to change font color in folders in Windows 10. I'd like to have them in black,

    I found this advice online but it didn't work, many thanks!

    What you'll have to do, is right-click your desktop background, and select Personalize. Then, change your background type from "Picture" to "Solid Color". Choose Orange (this will change your icon font to black). Then, immediately change your desktop background back to Picture, selecting your wallpaper of choice

    :)
