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?

That's exactly how it should work. A DVD+RW is not writable as far as the
system goes. If you wanted that functionality, you would need to purchase
DVD-RAM disks (and a writer that supports the format). Otherwise, continue
to use your present technique when burning you DVD+RW. BTW... in the long
run, you would be better off installing an additional HD (250 Gigs ~$75 vs
?$/disk with 4.7 Gigs of storage, and faster as well).
