Cannot change image folder in windows 7

I have recently changed my C drive and have re-installed Windows 7 (32-bit home edition) without any problem.

However, all my music files are stored on a second disc (D) where all folders & files have been marked previously with each record displaying the cover of each particular album.
For this re - install on each folder cover art has disappeared and when I try to put in trying to customize the file through the properties, it does not work
NB: The icon of the file display thumbnails box is checked in the folder options.
Please can you help me

Hey chriscorble,

I think the problem is that you are for the 'library of Documents', rather than the location of the "real" folder

1. right click on the folder that you want to change the icon of

2. Select 'Open file location'... it's just above "Properties".

3. Once you are in the 'file Location', right-click the folder that you want to change again

4. Select 'Properties' down

5. Select 'Customize' tab to the right...

6. the 'Change icon' button is at the bottom

[Note: the modified icon also appears in the "Library" view, you will need to close and reopen the file Explorer]

  • Cannot change network type in Windows 8

    How can I change a network or private so that file sharing is allowed? I thought that you could click on it from pop to subwindow network on the right side of the screen, but only my physical network connection is listed.

    More details:

    I have a physical Ethernet connection which is defined as a private network. Sharing files and any other communication on my LAN works fine. I also have a virtual connection through LogMeIn Hamachi which is defined as a public network. I can't find a way to change this. How to change network type in Windows 7 does not work in Windows 8.

    Once, I was able to change the type of Ethernet from the public to the private network by selecting that I wanted to turn on sharing. Although now I cannot access the menu to change that pop on the pane by clicking on the icon of simple network. I was also able to do it once with the Hamachi network, but only the physical card network seemed to save the change after a while. At a time the network Hamachi was not identified, but he has switched back to show as a public network. That's if everything goes though temporary and can be another problem together.

    I don't want to make an exception in my firewall, or make registry changes that specify all unidentified networks are established privately (two suggestions I found on the web so far).

    So it took me a while to find this also, I fixed it by searching for troubleshooting as suggested above. In troubleshooting search box (top right) type homegroup, and then select the resolution of the problems of the residential group, even if you're not using home group, part of the diagnosis allows you to change the type of network from public to private/home, I jumped the diagnostic network also step and allowed me to very easily change the type of network.

    I just factory reset my laptop to Windows 8.1. Apparently, I'll have to wait a while until I get the upgrade of Windows 10 new. I want to ask if HP version new images of factory for the spectrum X 360 and If there is a way to update the image of plant to the latest version so that the next time that I reset, it will Windows 10 loan instead.

    Note: I know it's kind of paradoxical; original image is supposed to be the State at the time that the machine leaves the factory. Just a question if it is possible. I am also aware that I can install Windows 10 directly via Microsoft Media creation tool but need product key that I don't have (and it is not usable when even since it is the key to OEM, retail sales don't touch).

    If you have already updated and activated Windows 10 on your X 360, you are eligible to do the clean install of win 10 using the MS tool to create a bootable media. Saves the MS-lack of a better word - your hardware profile on their servers so that it is recognized during a new installation. Just choose 'Skip' when it asks for a key and let it finish.
