Problem solved. Just want to share the fix to the list in case it may also work for some of you.
I don't have any CUSTSYMB folder under my username (I don't know why). All the custom symbols I see are from the Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\CUSTSYMB. I created a symbol in Paint with 32X32 pixels, 16 color bitmap with a file name XXXX1-32. Then alone didn't work. Only until I saved it as one of the already existing file, e.g. HYDR1-32, and made it HYDR2-32, then it finally showed up. I have no idea why but it worked. A thousand thanks to those who've sent me advices. I really appreciate a lot.
