Windows 11 Folder custom Icon Issue

Maybe they are paid way tooooooooooooooooo MUCH.

See my reply . . . Don't know where you got this.

Thank you and apologies for the misunderstanding. I tried it on my PC and it worked.

Can you try Resetting Folder View Settings? Holds good for windows 11 too.

How to Reset Folder View Settings to Default in Windows 10

Aww!, Dear, I asked about the same.

I posted on another thread what I had to do, before even getting a picture file to show through. Adjusting for size and ensuring the picture file was .png and not .jpg (.jpg doesn't work!). It still looks sloppy, and guess what? The "Select a file to show on this Folder Icon," STILL doesn't work!

So, going back to my "half-**** re-construction" In Windows 10, I got this -

Now, after this last update, I get this instead . . .

Still looks like a guy with his pants half down! Well, that's fashion for you, eh?

Perhaps one day it'll work. It took MONTHS after the upgrade of Windows 7 to Windows 10 (I skipped '8, since it was "garbage!"). to keep the keypad on extended keyboards activated! They tried to force us to believe we were on a cellphone or a notepad and NOT a desktop. Finally, the MSDN folks fixed it!

Dang! I **** about it daily, as I will continue doing about this (It looks "**** and incomplete!)!

Perhaps not here. People are sick of me on this and the other thread.

Oh well, here's hoping!

Thanks for the update. I guess that I just have to wait. I hope that I will not have to reassign a picture to each of thousands of folders and subfolders.

I have no Idea why that functionality was removed from Windows 11. sigh...

I think that I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

1. Downgrade functionality.
2. Recommend (flawed and sometimes expensive) third party software. (May or may not exist)
3. work up a kludge, work around or registry hack that works no where near as well as the original removed functionality and can be found only with an intensive search (May need technical knowledge unknown to the "average" user to install).
4. Either never fix the problem, or take years to restore the original functionality (after much (ignored) yelling, hair pulling and frustration due to the inadequacies of the UI/OS that was caused by the REMOVAL).

MS touts that they listen to the users, but it seems that unless it's an advertiser, Large business or corporation, the rest of those voices ring awful hollow. Functions and features used by power users and technicians (a minority) seem to be especially targeted.

The (perceived) attitude of "I nor my immediate colleges or circle use it so it must not be that important" attitude demonstrated by the MS office dwellers needs to go away.

Thanks for listening to me vent. (Is now a good time to ask them to bring back F8?)
