How to set labels on folders in Windows Explorer?

Question

Windows

I have a collection of programs on Windows 10 x64, the functionality of which may be needed in a particular area of ​​\u200b\u200bwork. Some programs are suitable for some purposes, others for others. Certain programs can be suitable for several parameters at once, but given the large number of programs, it is sometimes difficult to remember what is needed for what. Given that everything is in folders, I would like to "hang" folders with labels of the type:
Folder1 ("Category1")
Folder2 ("Category2") Folder3
("Category1", "Category2")
windows explorer solutions to label folders? If not integrable, then at least it’s good to know about a cataloging program that fits these criteria,

Answer 1

Folder name not enough? You can use desktop.ini which allows you to change the visible directory name, but the physical name will remain the same. This is done for example for the Documents directory (C:\Users\Documents)

[.ShellClassInfo]
[email protected]%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770 - это имя каталога из библиотеки
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-235

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop.ini
The wiki article says, but I'll write it again: "The directory must be read-only.
