Windows 10: change a folder thumbnail?

Hi,

I have been customising my icons and have come across a problem trying to change folder icons. I changed the icon and the thumbnail for an empty folder, but if the folder has content the thumbnail shows an open folder with the content inside it. how can i customise a folder with content's thumbnail?

Also, while i am here, where can i find the icons in the side bar?





Thanks.

:)

 

File Explorer not showing thumbnails

Brink,

Many thanks for you reply. I have done all the steps you suggested, but no change,

When I open a folder containing photos, some open correctly but the vast majority open with thumbnails, but they very quickly get overwritten and you can not longer see the thumbnails.

Are there any more suggestions?

Windows 10 showing device icons instead of thumbnails in folders

Hi me15prg9926,

There's a possibility that some folder settings may have changed. It could be set to show icons and not thumbnails. To verify that, please follow the steps below:

• Open the File Explorer.
• Click the View tab.
• On the upper-right corner, click Options.
• On the Folder Options, click the View tab.
• Under Files and Folders, uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails.
• Click Apply, then OK.

Once done, try checking if the folder icons are already showing thumbnails.

Update us with the result.

Regards.
