Since I bought a new computer with XP Home, (my old one
crashed, but I can still use the old hard drive as a
slave to access my old files) I seem to be missing the
customize tab in the folder properties dialog... but
only on the new hard drive. If I access my old hard
drive, I still have the customize tab. Any folder on the
new hard drive will not show that tab. There must be a
setting of some sort that I am unaware of.. and am
unable to find.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Seth

This is normal. They appear in your "old" folders, because they're not =
your "actual" My Documents, My Pictures......... folders.
