NaZ Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hey all, i have an external 400gb hdd and on that drive is a [Muzic] folder and this folder contains about 60gb worth of music. When i go into that folder i like to see the front covers of the albums i own so i go onto amazon.com and copy a front cover into every folder, then i spend about 45min - 1hour [right-click] -> [properties] -> [customize] -> [choose picture] for each individual folder. This wouldnt be much of a problem except when i take my drive somewhere els or plug another usb device (such as an iPOD) in first, the drive letter changes and iv lost all the original settings. RIGHT> my questoin is.. is there anyway of creating a reg file or something which could tell the computer to automatically select the picture in the folder to show in thumbnail view, or does anyone know where the information is stored which tells windows what the settings were for that drive.. Thankyou so much for taking the time to read this question and im sorry if this sounds a little retarded and noobish but i dont really know how to word the question so i cant really google it for my self. Thankyou... [NaZ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think you need to look at your desktop.ini file but it is a hidden file so you will have to show hidden files and folders if you want to copy it over, here is a bit more info on desktop.ini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaZ Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Thanx man, at least now i know where to start, although my folder does not contain a desktop.ini file, only thumbs.db file so it looks like ill have to go about trying to make one that i can edit.Thankyou for your reply...
