HUH? I do have Windows 7, but i miss the tab “Customize”. How?!
Yep. Can do all this – and have done several times.
But Windows periodically jumbles the folder pictures and shows either the wrong picture or just shows several overlayed images of the folder contents. Regardless of how many times you APPLY the image you want.
Any idea why ??
plz, i tried this a million times even before i read your article but there is no change. it ain’t work at all.is there a problem with my win 7 or you missed something?
another problem is even if it works still it shows a crank and indirect picture inside the folder. i don’t like it at all, because usually it don’t show the hole icon , look at the icon you showed in your example , you see the left section of image is cut off , maybe i want to see the hole icon that i made it myself and then what?
Conag, same happens to me, which is very annoying when you have done this slow method for changing the picture on MANY music folders, and then it reverts back to default.
