Customization of icons on Windows 7

Hey, all!

Here's my question.

If there any way how to change folder icon (Windows 7) if there is no tab in customize?
I want to be able to customize the icon of a folder. When I right click on the folder and select Properties, there is no customize (as for Vista) tab to select an image to represent the file. Thanks for any help!

  • "Customize Notification icons" is grayed out

    I followed the article 'the power in the taskbar icon is missing' and I got to the next step (which occurs many times in the article):

    Right-click on the clock and choose "Customize Notification icons".
    Unfortunately, while I can see "Customize Notification icons" it is grayed out. I tried to find a solution to this issue, which may or may not be related to my grayed out original issue of power, but he does not seem to have been mentioned previously.
    Thank you

    Hi again Bill

    Well, as things turned out I answered my own question. I still don't know what caused event the «Customize Notification icons...» "to become grayed out, but now I know what you have to do for that one item available again. Then...
    Either:
    Right-click on the clock
    Left click on "Properties".
    Or:
    Right click on the button to start Windows
    Left click on "Properties".
    Select (left-click) the "Notification area" tab
    In any event, you should meet at the same point in the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" applet.
    The upper part of this tab is labeled "Icons" and has a checkbox "Hide inactive icons" and a button 'customize '. [Either by the way, this "Customize" button launches the applet same slot by clicking "Customize Notification icons...] "] If this check box is disabled, the"Customize"button and the menu item"Customize Notification icons... "are both greyed out; Similarly checking the box allows both. Which seems to actually reverse a little bit for me, but what the heck.
    In any case, I put the selector and click 'Apply' and, hey presto, the menu item is available.
    Now that I can get the applet under 'Customize', I'm amazed to see just how old 'last' are included. Hmmm; time for some household I think.
    Thanks again

    Make sure that you use the actual files, not those in the library view *.
    Right click on the file > properties > high right, customize > down, change icon > (you can do the rest...)

    I'm trying to get the bookmark icon in my toolbar to the right of the icon of the House. Then, right-click on the toolbar and then click Customize the icon in the toolbar. As soon as I close the pop of toolbar Customize the icon on my toolbar disappears. How can I get the Favorites icon to stay on my toolbar to the right of the icon of the House?

    Two things can cause the Bookmarks button to "disappear" from the Navigation bar when the customization mode is closed.

    1. the Menu bar - with File, Edit, View, etc. - shows.

    Since you have checked the answer first of cor-el solve your problem, I have not exposed on this point.

    2. the bookmarks toolbar shows, and this button is this toolbar.

    Is the Menu bar showing or not?

  • Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar

    I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player.  When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut.  How can I accomplish this?

    Windows 10.

    As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player).  Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears.  And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.
