  1. I am an administrator user but, I can't even change folder's icon or their compatibility...


    When I login with administrator mode, it shows all the tabs security - customization etc but with my normal user I only use this profile and its administrator it only shows me 3 tabs as you can see in the screenshot. What should I do to get other tabs? I don't want to use the administrator profile every time just to do a little customization.

    :)

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?
