Windows 10: In this case customize file names colour coding is only the solution

In the below article shows that Windows don't have such option (customize file names colour coding) :

What I what to say is that, file names colour code customization is not only recommended for organizing files but also in some cases it is mandatory. As an example I am working in a big company, in a specific share folder all events reports pdf files are named with unique standard file naming and kept in that folder, now, the only way to distinguish updated files (updated to the company database) is possible through colouring the updated files name in the same folder. You may think that it may be possible to do the same by moving updated pdf files (events reports) to another folder, but unfortunately in such scenario file may duplicates because clients will no more longer receive Window warning popup "There is already a file with the same name in this location" so the same pdf file may saves again in the share folder. For this reason files colour coding is the best solution to avoid duplication.


There are some third party applications providing such facilities as in the below link:

thanks to them, but unfortunately it is difficult to get a third party applications in some companies.

Windows request to provide the same.

If you have the time, could you do as I suggested giving me a step x step in case I have missed something please.

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

Color Coding the File Names

For those of us who work on large projects that contain hundreds of files, it would be really helpful if we could just color code the file names. This could be done in File Explorer and would be reflected throughout Office and other apps.

Use Cases:

• If there were a team sharing a directory of files, but there was a lead person in charge of each file, the file names could be color codded with a different color for each person.
• I use a distinct color for the files that have to be edited or fixed as opposed to the many others which are in black.
• There is a project where there is a requirement for keeping a record of all stages of the work as it goes through various stages. For example, a manual is being produced in Word or Publisher. There might be several drafts of the text and/or chapters or
  sections are continuously added. Now we add a date to the file name (sometimes we use a version number), but soon we end up with dozens of files and have to look for the most current one. Mistakes are easily made. If we could just have the current file
  in a distinct color, time would be saved, as well as mistakes reduced. This is especially needed for Government Work where often it is a legal requirement, but it also ios useful when we may want to roll back to a previous version.
• In an extension of the previous case, we are creating a curriculum consisting of 17 different on line courses. Each course has a history of many file versions. But there is one current file for each. We want to keep all the files in one directory because
  we are always cutting and pasting from one to another and changing a term in all, etc. If the current version file were in a distinct color that would be helpful.
• If there were various stages a file went through such as draft, draft submitted for approval, draft approval, draft disapproved, sent to copy editor, copy edited, etc, we could use the color coding for simple project management without using other software.
• Programmers could do the same for versions of their code regarding testing stages or approvals and supervisors who are not technically sophisticated, just by scanning the director can get a good idea of the status of things.

I'm sure there are many others and I would welcome additional ideas.

Once color coding of file names is possible, the next steps could be another sorting option for directories (by color). then there could be a table of color meanings and perhaps a tie in with the existing color coding in outlook.

I have used Windows from the first Beta version to Windows 10, and in all that time there has only been one improvement and that was allowing longer file names which was a big one. However, with everything else improving the file listing process has remained
the same. It certainly was good, but everything can be made better.
