    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?

    Need old Windows Start menu

    Hi,

    I realize that you need the old Windows start menu. I will try to help you with this issue.

    You can click the hash icon located above the 3D Builder icon to check if that helps.

    Suggest you to follow these steps to check if that helps:


    • Press Windows key + I to get the Settings screen.

    • Click on Personalization and click Start.

    • Enable the feature for “use start full screen”.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.
