    Where did the option to change a Folder Icon go?


    It used to be that you could right-click on an Icon, click Properties>Customize>Change Icon and select a new icon image for a given folder.


    That option no longer appears under the Customize sub-menu for some Folder, but it does for others.


    What's up with that and how do I change the Icon image for these other folders?

    :)

    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?
