Folder Thumb Needs Improvement (1 Viewer)

I use Windows XP Pro. If I save the album art as a folder thumb, this is saved as a .jpg file.

This is great if I use only the Thumbnail folder view. If I use any other view, this image is superfluos (ie. it's missing). I understand the reason why, but there is a way around this, but that causes issues as this application ignores system folders.

I use this approach frequently, to make folder identification easier:

In the folder I create a file named desktop.ini
contents are:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=foldera.ico
IconIndex=0
InfoTip="place a tooltip a comment here"


if this folder has it's system attribute set on, then the icon is seen in every type of folder view.


Not sure how this works in Vista - but as I'm not supposed to be rude and offensive I won't pass on my thoughts about vista.

    Shouldn't be a problem to display System folders as well.
    It's just removing an "if" in te code.
    shouldn't be of any problem anyhow.

    next version will display the system folders as well
