+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted April 30, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted April 30, 2016 Um, unless I'm misunderstanding, go to the folder properties, Customize tab, change icon below. Use one of the several web services to generate an .ico from a picture. At least, that is how I do it. There is probably an app or something that can do it better.

MS Bob 11 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Microsoft removed that ability starting with Windows 7 unless you hack Explorer to force it to use the older SysListView32 control used in Vista. But that messes up some other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdodson Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hopefully you didn't waste time manually setting the image for each folder. Just drop the poster into the folder and name it Folder.jpg. Windows does the rest. max22 and Draggendrop 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacoe Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I used to have an app that would do this automatically (runs in the background and waits for new folders to be added), it would pull the info from the file name and search popular movie sites (like IMDB) and rename the folder to the same scheme and grab the artwork for you. It hasn't been updated in years but I believe it still works. The only problem is, I've been using plex for a couple of years now and I've totally forgot the name of it! max22 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefire369 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Installing K-Lite Codec pack, say the latest version, will generate movie posters for the respective files instead of the regular thumbnails. But if you want the folder itself as a poster, then use Icon Man Mark VIII, which not only generates posters for movies, but also for Games, TV Series etc. Thanks.
