I am having diffuculty with the "change folder icon" option on the
Customizing properties page of (a) folder. I recently needed to perform a
System Restore and had lost these customizations I had previously made, so
had to repeat them.
After browsing a bit to choose a new icon and then clicking OK or Apply, the
1st time one does this, a message pops up saying "To complete this... Folder
Tasks must be enabled. Do you want to enable folder tasks now? (Yes/No)"
In the past I just blindly clicked "Yes" and went on, life was great.
But, *this* last time I thought, maybe I'll look up what "folder tasks" are
in Help & Support *before* I just blindly go where no noid has gone
before.... B I G M I S T A K E!
Not only does a "folder tasks" keyword search in H&S (and many other places)
proove fruitless, but now when I try to make the same icon change again on
the folder, the popup won't even come back to let me go back to being a blind
noid where life is beatiful all the time... and the little men in their white
coats come and take me away.... ha-haaa....
The thought of having to restore my entire system *again* just for the sake
of this hiccup seems a little like renting a steam-shovel to cleanup a
steaming pile of Fido from the front lawn.
However... great apprecation and respect to anyone who can provide the
direction to where "folder tasks" can independantly-and-intentionally be
turned on/off!
Thanks

Patience is a virtue...
which one exercises only when needed. Therefore: practice every chance you
get....
Computers will give you a LOT of practice!
