I love the new technology, but there is a "carry-over" from past Windows OS's, which I miss. 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?

Have you right-clicking the folder, selecting "Show More Options," then selecting "Properties. That should show you the "customize" option you are looking for.- William_Turnley_0RSApr 07, 2022Copper ContributorHi Steve, Did it work for you? I'm wondering if it's just something I have set incorrectly. That may well be it. Thanks, Steve!
- William_Turnley_0RSApr 07, 2022Copper ContributorYes, I have. That is how I get to Properties. Try it yourself. Get a JPEG, and put it in a folder. Then customize the folder to show the JPEG on the outside. Doesn't work. Perhaps you know a way which will? I would surely appreciate it! Thanks, though for offering an answer.
