Change Folder Image in Windows 10

In Windows 10, you can assign an image to a folder. This image will appear on of the folder instead of the default thumbnails of the contents of the folder.

Windows

File Explorer is Windows' default file manager and can be customized in a number of ways. As for the appearance of File Explorer, the user can customize it in many ways and according to his wishes. By reading the files and folders somewhere on your hard drive, File explorer adjusts the folder icons so you can see roughly what each one contains .

If you are not satisfied with this way of displaying the contents of each folder, you can set any image *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png, *.bmp or *.ico you want, as an image in any folder icon. See in this article how you can do it.

1. Right-click on a folder and select “Properties” from it . Alternatively, press and hold the ALT key and double-click the folder.
2. Go to the Customize tab. There you will see the group "Folder Images" where below it is the "Select File" button. Click this button.


3. Look for the image you want to use as a folder image. Your Windows opens an image file selection window that by default is the folder you want to change an icon. You can either pick an image through the folder itself or you can get any image of any part of your hard drive you want.
4. Once selected, click the "Open" button to confirm your selection and then press the "Apply" button to apply the change.
5. Re-read with File Explorer this folder to see your change.

To restore the default folder image open the Folder Properties again, go to the "Customize" tab and now select the "Restore Default" button.
