my windows xp kicks butt. it does everything i want it to do, i'm using blue moon with x64 and opera and firefox with x32. all my games run fine. libreoffice, videolan, foxit reader, jetaudio, macrium reflect, gizmo drive, hosting an evga gtx 750 ti. oh, oh, and did i mention all my games ? malwarebytes once in a while when i start feeling adventurous.
don't even go there with the negative dark force comments. all i want is to change my movie icons into movie thumbnails, and i've looked, and past the point of diminishing returns. so i'm posting on a forum. all i want is to change the ugly folder icons into movie thumbnails. that's it, and that's all. i'm looking for suggestion or even a recommendation. thanks
 
Solution
Save the movie image you want to use and save it as a Folder.gif file in the folder.

I use a program called My Movies http://www.mymovies.dk/ that does that automatically when you point it to a set of folders with movies. Great program.
