Yes for some reason the customise tab is missing when accessing folders through 'Library' , would be good to modify something to show them.

Thanks Rex, your hints works, but in this way we have two changed folder, is any other method to customize folders only in libraries??? Libraries is just linked files from user folder, and in some way they are just virtual, nut i hope that someone can solve customization only in library!!!

When right clicking on taskbar to open properties window it does not show start button tab in Win 10? I'd like to redirect the Downloads folder to a different disk D drive. What's the best method? I have my preferences to "Open each folder in the same window".

For most folders, this works exactly as it should. However, whenever I open a sub folder in the Downloads folder, it opens up in a new window. I have my downloads folder sorted by "Date Added" newest at the top and whenever I download a new file, the file will always goes to the bottom when I have the Downloads folder open as I click download.

I have a large number of research articles on my laptop via dropbox. One thing I loved about Windows 7 was that I could just hit the Start button, type a keyword into the search box and a results window would pop up that listed every matching document on my computer. I was also able to customize this so that it always came up in "Details" view. I can't seem to get that same thing with Windows
