Vista - Music Folder Icons

This is a silly question, but here it goes:
I have a music folder with folders containing music from different groups.
In the Beatles folder I have several folders for different albums. One
folder for Abby Road, one for Sgt. Peppers’ etc. The cool thing is that the
icon for the Beatles folder shows several different albums inside, that is I
can see a representation of each Beatles album that is contained in the
Beatles folder.
The thing I don’t understand is how I can ensure this happens with all the
album folders. For example my Rolling Stones folder which, like my Beatles
folder has several sub-folders for different albums. The Stones folder
doesn’t show a representation for each Stones album that is in the Stones
folder, only one album is represented.

It may be that the folders that are showing the representation for the album
folder include some "album art" graphic files somewhere in those folders and
the folders like the Stones do not have the album art files.

Thank you Ronnie,

I looked through the two folders, the Beatles in which the sub-folders are
displayed with different graphics when looking at the main Beatles folder and
the Stones folder in with the different albums are not displayed with
different icons when looking at the main Stones foder. I can't find any
difference in how the Beatles and Stones folders are setup. I made sure the
show hidden files and folders option is checked in the folder options menu,
but couldn't find any album art images.
