    Tell explorer to automactly display icons as the folder picture


    Hi,

    Is their a way I can tell windows to automatically display my folder icons as the folder image so I don't have to manually set them all up by right clicking each album folder > Properties > Change Icon... etc. I converted 1000's of jpeg images to ico extension so I'm able to display my folders in thumbnail view without the skewed W7 folder look (Full flat thumbnails like XP)

    I like how Microsoft have simplified the process of organizing folders.. before I use to spend days manually organizing but now I set one folder up then use the 'Apply to Folders' to apply to all folders of that type so can I change it so the folders use the ico extension and displays it automatically in thumbnail view ?

    Thanks

    I believe this is done in Explorer window's Organize>Folder Options.
