[help]changing Thumbnail View In Xp

Hello to you,

I wondered if it is possible to change the thumbnail folder view in xp.

I mean I have only nice looking blue folders in my explorer, but when thumbnail view is turned on and when there are images in the folder the explorer shows me the contents of the folders in the ugly windows-yellow.

Doea anyone know how to change this?

I hope you understand my bad english and my question.

Would be great!

The thumbnail view folder you are seeing is stored in shell32.dll.

The only way to change it, that I know of, is to replace Icon Group 4 in shell32.dll with an appropriate icon of your choosing. Realize that Icon Group 4 represents every closed folder.
