What? Yes. It's just about always been available to go through and select an "icon" as your folder. I doubt anyone actually uses this limited feature. I guess you can make them, or like me, I got Disney, Halloween, etc., ones from someplace some 20 years ago. That is ALL that is available and that is NOT the issue.
Only place I can still get what I want is my XP...yup 20 years old and it can give me in one click a good idea what's in that folder and its subfolders. XP offered different ways of viewing that no other evolution of windows does.
Do you know what the issue is that everyone is discussing? See the above sample? All I had to do with that file is to select how I want to view it!
I create a folder containing pictures, I didn't need to even select a photo and it would place one on my file folder. I shouldn't have to go through 20,000 photo files to find what I want and without a "picture" on the folder .... well, enough here have made the case already. At one time I recall I COULD actually go into the file and pick the one that would appear....
MS why? I just don't get these "changes" that eliminated what was important to so many. MS has become too arrogant. I want to see someone come up with a challenging system that actually listens to its customers and, if so, MS will lose more than 50% of its current customers.
