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.
