folder icon pictures Jason Owens 01-08-2007

Some of my music folders on my comp have pictures on them without having a
picture file inside the folder. And in some cases the picture doesn't match
what's in the folder (mp3's of my cd's). How do I go about getting rid of
the picture that's on the folder?

I've gone into the options/customize and clicked default but it doesn't
change anything. Also i've gone as far as moving the files to another folder
but when I rename the folder to the original it usually replants the picture
on it. Or in some cases another picture alltogether.

Also i've had a few cases of blank folders randomly picking their own
pictures and it's a hassle to get rid of it sometimes. Sometimes I can click
default and it goes away, sometimes it doesn't or i do the file move to
another folder and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I read something about the amount of picture files allowed was small but was
supposed to be fixed with the update. I have all updates installed, so i'm
wondering if i should go ahead and do the registry fix myself. Or what I can
do to resolve this.

Thanks for your help.

You of course have these pictures on the folder, because the computer found
them when you ripped the CD. Its not uncommon for the picture to not match
the one of your CD. This probably has to do with different editions for
Europe, USA and whatnot.

To get your own picture shown on the folder and in Media Center, you simply
save a picture to the folder and enter properties to choose that picture (the
same place you tried to default the folder).

This however, will not change the picture shown in Media Player. To change
this, you must go into properties of the individual song in Player and change
it.

Let me know if this doesn't work or needs better explaining.
