Sorry, not sure what you mean.


Do you want to change the folder icon to something else?

Or do you want it to show some of the files it contains?


If you want to change the folder icon, you can press the command+I keys on the keyboard to open the folder properties, and drag a new icon image to the icon at the top left corner of the properties window or simply paste a copied image on it by clicking on it once to select it, and then pressing command+v on your keyboard to paste the copied image.

You cannot make it show files it contains though.


If you mean something else, please explain clearly what you mean.
