- Customize Folder
- Posted by Tony P. on January 25th, 2008
Hello,
I have a picture archive that I store on a DVD+RW. If you right click a
folder on the hard drive and select Properties, under the properties for
that folder, there should be a Customize tab. With the customize option you
can place a picture on the folder which shows up in thumbnail view. But when
I try to do this with one of the folders on the DVD+RW, the customize tab is
missing from the Properties pop-up. I don't know if this is by design or
what. I've gotten around it copying one of the pictures on the DVD folders
to a file called folder.jpg. This file becomes the picture file for that
folder. Is this supposed to work this way or do I have a problem?

Tony

As I said yesterday, DVD is a read-only medium (although DVD+RW is
reusable), so it cannot just add the folder customisation like that. As you
can add files on a multisession disc, you have found a workaround with using
the folder.jpg files, which is what that tab does anyway.
The only way I would think that doing this with the tab *may* be by using
packet writing software, like Nero InCD or by using a DVD-RAM writer and
discs.

That feature is for hard drive folders.
