In Windows 7 ,You can change the way files and folders function and how items are displayed on your computer by using Folder Options in Control Panel .
Also you can launch Folder Options from My Computer or Windows Explorer from the Organize tab.
Now you will launch the Folder Options windows,here everything just like in Windows XP, we can change the settings we want to do.Eg:show file extentions,hidden system files …
Thank you for your good advisory.
the customize tab is missing when I click on the properties option when I click on a picture file in My Pictures
Re missing “Customize” tab, me too. Still trying to get rid of Windows 7’s low-visibility folders (in the left Windows Explorer pane); Microsoft’s attempt to be artsy – FAIL. The following (below) is wrong; the “Customize tab” doesn’t exist.

Yes, you can change a folder’s icon from the default image.
1. Right-click the folder that you want to change, and then click Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, click the Customize tab.

Hi
I too cannot assign icons to my created folders in Windows 7 Ultimate. Could you kindly advise if the “CUSTOMIZE” tab is a hidden feature or if I need to enable it some other way.
If you are using Windows 7, the Customize tab wont appear in the properties if you accessed the folder through the Library. For it to appear, the folder needs to accessed through your actual User folder (e.g. Local Disk<Users<"Your Name").
Hi, Can someone please leave an idiots guide to how to add the CUSTOMISE tab to the folder properties please. I just cannot get my head around it!
Regards
You can access througth:
Computer>
Hard Driver (ej. T105xxxx)>
Users>
Owner(or your user name)>
etc…
until find your folder and then…
right click…Select Properties…
and then You can see the Customize Tab
how to I customize my folders and files to look like this: Picture, jpg, tif, movie files as large thumbnail icon. Word doc, pdf, email ave, excel as in detail mode. Can you customize current types of file to look a current way like in Vista doe automatically.
The best way to get to the user folder is to click the start button. In the left column, at the very top of the list is your computer name or User ID. That is where the origninal folders exist – click on a plan-jane folder, select Properties, select the Customize tab, choose an icon. Whew!
