select new icons

windows 7

i want to put new icons for some of my folders, i can't seem to figure out how to do it. i'm sure i remember somehow i did it in xp

i tried advanced properties, it's not there.

the customize tab does not show up for me and your explanation where to do it is a bit over my head. i'm in windows explorer; i tried in the tree on the left and on the folder on the right and neither showed a customize tab.

it's in documents, subfolder My Documents (that was installed by windows) subfolder "blackberrY"' the folder has an item in is, should i maybe remove it?

no, i was stupidly trying to do it within the "my documents" folder. i've gone from the c drive and that worked fine. thank you for telling me that.

sometimes i get annoyed, if i call the people who sold me the computer and ask them something like this, they won't tell me, for example i asked how to reveal hidden files and she wouldn't tell me because it was "too dangerous" lol. took me a few days and some lumberjack language to find it. i paid 2 x the price to buy from a local store instead of costco or some place like that because i thought i would get service that way.

so i'm prolly gonna be asking some dumb questions on the forums for a while til i get this new puter set up and i know where things are.

thank you ever so much for your help.
