Customize folder

Hi
My OS is Vista Business. I’ve imported some folders from my external HDD
into the C:\ drive
I’m trying to customize a folder. I right click & open Property, click
Customize, under “Choose a file to show on this folder icon”. I select a
picture click Apply and nothing happens. The folder still shows its default
setting.
Any ideas?

Re: Customize folder

I did as you suggested but it still won’t work. On the other hand I’m able to
change the Folder Icons but not the "Folder Pictures"
