  2. Can't Customize a Folder Thumbnail

    Hello, everyone.

    I'm trying to customze the thumbnails of each folder in my PC, so I know which folder contains which image.

    Unfortunately, the thumbnails of some folders aren't changing when I try to customize it. They just still display default thumbnails when I click Apply and OK buttons after customizing them.

    To customize folder thumbnail I usually right-click a folder -> click "properties"-> go into "customize" tab -> click "Choose Picture" button under "Folder pictures" tab -> select the thumbnail image -> and click "Apply" and "OK" button.

    While I am able to freely customize the thumbnails of some folders, it doesn't work on other folders even when I'm doing exactly the same thing. What can be the problem here?

    Thank you in advance for trying to help me!
