Color Labels Mac OS X includes a welcome blast from the Mac s distant past icon labels. This feature lets you tag selected icons with one of seven different labels each of which has both a text label and a color associated with it. To do so highlight the icons.

There under the heading Color Label you ll see seven colored dots which represent the seven different labels you can use. Figure 2-8 shows the routine. .
