Further flexibility comes with the ability to turn on or off individual custom icons with a simple tick box. To turn the customized icons on or off is simply a matter of pressing the handy toggle button. It's so easy to add, remove, change and fine tune your settings to your liking. Customized icons are also very very flexible. Meaning that all new files or folders that match your predefined pattern or instruction if you like will automatically be displayed with your chosen icon. It's set and forget as all file/folder icon associations are applied globally.
