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!

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.

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.
