With the latest release of Windows 11 (22H2), it is again possible to to display folder thumbnails that allow previewing files inside a folder.
But the folder icons choosen by Microsoft hide half the picture (folder.jpg).
There is a hack that allow to choose another folder icon, I successfully installed it but unfortunately it is only working with file explorer.
Total Commander keep the default folder icon, I was wondering if it will be possible to change that.

Re: Folder thumbnails [Request]
There is no Windows hack necessary to have folder icons.
My other file manager (XYplorer) does it already.
This thread should be move to suggestions.

Re: Folder thumbnails [Suggestion]
The hack is only for Explorer filemanager to have a different icons for folder.
Out of curiosity for which tasks do you use XYplorer instead of TC?

Viewing images has a lot of better functions than TC.
Also its internal scripting language is superior compared to using Auto-Hotkey with TC.
But I still use TC for most of my daily file management tasks.

Hi Horst,
Thanks for the feedback, I have started playing with XY and indeed it is quite good for managing Media.
