Why no Customize tab in folder options?

[Doublehex]

So, I have just installed Windows 7, and I am fairly much enjoying it, except for one quirk.

There is no Customize tab for folders! I want to set a thumbnail for it, but Microsoft has, for some reason or another, decided not to put one in. Anyone have an idea as to why, or if this is just temporary until the official release?

More like this. I have no Customize tab!

...What the heck is going on here?

 

[Antman]

Navigate to C:
Navigate to Users
Navigate to MATT
Navigate to Music

Now look.

...Heh.

So, is it because I am going there via Libraries?

Correct. Won't show up in a dynamic link.

Well, Phooie. I was rather liking the whole Library thing too.

Well, I have one more question. I chose the image I wanted, but it doesn't change. Any idea as to why?

Does it change when viewed the other way? Not in the Library?

Hello DoubleHex, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Give this reg download below a try. It removes the policy settings that normally would remove the Customize tab to then restore it. Restart the computer afterwards to apply.

Hope this helps,

EDIT: Oh I see you were doing this from a library. Yep, there will not be one there.

Nope. It is still the same.

I have had this problem in subfolders of the My Videos folder. When I copied the folder to an external drive, setting the folder picture worked immediately. However, i found a way to change the folder pictures under the My Videos folder too.

Set the folder picture as usual in the Customize tab and apply. You will see no change. Then click on Change Icon and on Restore Defaults and okay. Now the chosen picture is finally used as filder pictue.
