Trouble with folder thumbnails/customization (HELP!)

Hey there,

I have a problem with the way Win7 displays folders: my whole music collection consists of folders that contain the songs and the covers (sometimes there are more than 2-3 images next to the audio files).
By default, W7 completely messes the folders: I'd like to be able to select the "main" cover for each folder - but Windows won't let me. Instead of that, the display randomly selects 2 or more images for the thumbnail.

This is how I'd like each folder to look:


Instead, I get one like this:


I tried setting the Customize tab exactly like in XP, but - when I select the image - nothing happens. The thumbnail remains the same.


Please help me out - what do I have to do so that I can have all my folders like in the first image?
Thank you in advance for helping out.

Hi C05T1N,
I'm not sure that this isn't a little GUI bug as I find I have change the folder view every now and again. Even if the view is set using the folder options tab it still likes to revert to a different view... I'm hoping that this will be cleared up by the time 7 comes through my letterbox or someone has a work around...

hi

i may have an idea for you
when i use Xp and i want to save time and not set every folder to the image i like i just found out this trick

1. you make the file that you want as a main thumbnail
2. you must save it as (folder.jpg) not the name of the folder just the word "folder"
3. put it the folder you like it to thumbnailed
4. after you make a lot of folders search for all the folder.jpg files and hide them

works in Win 7 for me great
