Hi. How do you do that?

Your first post says that you know it :)

Hi All

I would like to know how you can customize the thumbnail of any folder in Widnows 7? If I right click on a folder, it doesn't give me the option to choose my own icon for that folder.

I know how to change the default icon for all windows folder, but not for a single folder.

Thank You

Well, this is a way to do it, but boohbah does it alternatively.

If you look at a folder via a library you don't get the customization tab. This is a folder via my documents library.
