My Music error

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

In my, My Music folder I have in different folders different artists with
their different Albums. When you click on view then thumbnails you can see
the cover of that album so without looking at the names I can find the
correct album. Recently though when ever I come to it 2 of these folders
seemed to be linked somehow without telling me. They both have the same
picture there even though they are different artists. If I right-click then
customize it will change both of them so Brian McFadden & Keane will have a
Keane cover, and it works the same in reverse.

What do I do to let them display different pictues.

Thanks
Alastair Gray

Alastair,

Delete the thumbs.db file (hidden) in that folder, and then customize the
icon again.

I have tried that and it didn't work. Should I delete the file from the
recycle bin or just resore the file and can you sujest another method?

Thanks

Alastair,

If deleting the thumbs.db does not help, create a new folder and transfer
the music files to the new folder, and then choose the thumbnail for that
folder. (When you create a new folder, there will be a new Bags value
assigned in the registry)

Another option is to reset all folder options.
