- A simple question. This may be petty to the level of this discussion, but in Windows 10, I could customize a folder to "carry" a picture on top of it. For me, being hard of seeing, a picture is more readily readable than just the name of the folder. For example, I would go to, "Properties,' then "Customize," and then "Choose a file to show on this folder icon." Then I would choose a picture related to the data in the folder. Why doesn't that work in Windows 11?
- Good question, I see that the setting is still there, and I remember trying to do this as well and actually you probably need to change the folder icon to a different icon altogether, unless you use a Windows 10 system and save those folders with the icons showing over the folder to onedrive, then they can sync to your Windows 11 device. I know this because I have several folders with floating icons over them on my desktop, most likely from Windows 10 and saved and synced to onedrive. Good Luck.
- Please excuse, I meant to say, thank you for your reply . . . but you can't edit these things like on YouTube. Anyway, it should work just like on '10, '07 and 'XP. Either way, if I had to change the Icon to something else, it should be documented and that "Customize" tab needs to be modified. We'll see how it plays out. Given my experience with Windows, it may take a year or so.

This AMA has concluded. Thanks for joining us today. Did you enjoy the event? Let us know in the Comments and join us every month for Windows Office Hours on the Tech Community!
- Thanks for the session. Clarifying things like the link between gestures and task-bar placement gives more insight into what goes behind certain decisions.
- Personally I love just telling my PC what to do by typing. Now in Windows 10 I've added a folder to "path" in the environment variables, so that I can trigger batch scripts in that folder using [win]+[r] and typing the name of that script. Will there be ways to make this "when I type this do this" style of interacting with Windows easier?

That concludes the live stream. We'll continue answering questions here in the Comments until the end of the hour.
- How does Microsoft handle the roaming user experience for your employees for non Microsoft applications when cloud sync isn't allowed for related cloud services? Chrome for example. Will UE-V continue into the future?
- Really like the new task bar and and use a Surface Pro with two additional large monitors in my home office. I like the ability to have taskbar apps show on both the main taskbar (on the Surface Pro) and the taskbar where the window is open however I have a lot of real estate on the additional monitors but the taskbar apps still 'stack'; will this be sorted soon?
