| Newbie Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Re: Folder Preview Picture Change Hi there: I have a strange situation in this regard, I assigned a few pictures to some directories exactly the way you mentioned here, it worked fine but one of these pictures has been attached to my "Program Files" directory too!!!!!! It happened all by itself and since there's no customize option about "Program Files" directory, I can't change or remove this picture from folder preview of my "Program Files"!!! Any suggestions? thanks alot. |

It should restore the Program Files folder with it like it did before. Curious, which folder did you change that changed the Program Files folder to? Shawn |

| Newbie Rep Power: 10 ![]() ![]() | Re: Folder Preview Picture Change My issue seems simpler but probably more intractable: sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Initially I thought it depended on whether or not there were subfolders, but that ain't it. Refreshing, rebooting, or simply waiting doesn't help either. I'm talking about just regular old folders with nothing but JPEGs in them but some (if not most) leopards absolutely refuse to change their spots! |

Try resetting the folder view settings to see if that will help. Look at method two in this tutorial for how. How to Reset Windows Explorer Folder View Settings to Make Vista Remember Shawn |

| Newbie Rep Power: 8 ![]() | Re: Folder Preview Picture Change Dear Shawn: It was an ordinary folder including some pictures that I had customized!! I had similar problem with another folders too!! so finally I decided to forget customizing folders and reset everything to its default condition. using your method on "How to Reset Windows Explorer Folder View Settings to Make Vista Remember" solved the problem with "Program Files" too. Thanks a lot, Borna |

Could you tell me the full path or location of that ordinary folder? I would like to run some tests by placing a folder in the same location to see if I can come with a way to prevent the problem you had when customizing. Thank you for the feedback, Shawn |

| Newbie Rep Power: 10 ![]() ![]() | Re: Folder Preview Picture Change The method did not work for changing the preview image, but it definitely seemed to make folder settings more stable in general. Many thanks for that! |

Where are the folders located for the ones you want to change the preview picture? I have noticed that some system file folders will not change at all. Shawn |

| Newbie Rep Power: 10 ![]() ![]() | Mainly just subfolders of JPEGs in "C:\Users\DrZ\Pictures." I have found a work-around that's not really a solution but does the trick consistently on my machine at least. I chose a single pic for the preview thumbnail, then copied and pasted it into the folder making sure it was the only image on that level. I hoped that would set the preview permanently so the out-of-place copy could be deleted, but it wants to revert back unless you leave it. Not ideal, but easy as falling off a log! |
