How to flag interesting file name

I want to flag some frequently used files from rest of files in D drive in Windows Xp so that I can easily find them. Is there any way to change the color of file name to differentiate them from others ?

I don’t know about changing the color but you could prefix the name(s) with, say, AA or something similar. Bear in mind that system files names should not be changed but documents, pictures and the like are OK.
You could then list them by Selecting and Copying the following 4 lines: attrib /s D:\AA*.* >AAfiles.txt start notepad AAfiles.txt exit cls
Now go to Start > Run, type cmd and press Enter. Using the mouse right-click, Paste the 4 copied lines to the command prompt window. When the list has been compiled, Notepad will open and display your files.
