Folder.jpg not working as folder thumbnail
I have a rather large media library that includes several hundred music albums.I always used the Folder.JPG (Album cover) to display as the folder icon. Now it only show 3d icon with the album cover sticking out twice. If I right click the folder then properties, then customize, then folder pictures, then choose file nothing happen.Is this a bug? Can it be fixed ?

Anyone else notice how Explorer no longer uses folder.jpg to display folder icons when browsing media (music, for example) folders in Large/Medium folder view?

Dan and Tom,Are we referring to the folder in Libraries in Windows Explorer, or just a folder in Windows Explorer?

Folders in Explorer. Throughout the beta builds prior to 7100 (As well as in previous versions of Windows), Explorer would use folder.jpg to display the Folder image when using Large/Medium folder view in explorer. This is no longer the case, unfortunately.

Dan, Yes, I see. You could always use another product to convert it to the .ico file type.

Is .ico the folder.jpg replacement?

Dan,Well, .ico is a standard icon file. I will ask if this is by design or not.
