    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.

  5. A different Paul says:

    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").
