How do you change the little photo coming out of the folder

Oct 1, 2007 12:10PM PDT

the "preview" under the pictures folders in my computer? It seems to chose one to sort of "peek out" at you , and it may not be the best one to identify the contents.....or it's unflattering.
thanks.

That seems to be right but it didn't change the icon for me.

I wonder if there is something else I am missing, I did click "apply" and all that.

Icon does not change

only the file you select changes the view sticking out, the folder icon can not be changed to show the picture on it as in XP.
