I am scanning a large collection of old slides, and organizing them into
folders by topic and date. To help keep track of things, for several
folders I selected Properties / Customize / Folder Pictures and Choose
pictures and chose a representative image from within that folder. That
worked OK.
But next day when I went back to some real work I discovered that random
folders all over the rest of the system had those images inserted as the
folder image. There didn't seem to be any pattern as to which folders had
the images, or which image was applied (except, possibly, that each image
was used only once). I don't think any of the folers that I had selected
for a customised image were affected, but of course I have to check each one
in turn to be sure, as I was using the image and not the folder name to
indicate the contents. I now have to remove all the images from the folders
that they shouldn't have been associated with, which is a large job,
expecially as some of them seem very reluctant to go back to the default,
whether I choose to restore default or change the icon, choose Apply or just
OK, refresh the display or whatever.
I need to find out how to stop this random assignment of images to other
folders, so I can continue to apply the images in my slides folder without
being concerned that they will suddenly appear elsewhere.
I also need to know how to revert these stubborn folders back to a plain
icon - the worst case seems to be a shortcut where I don't seem to have
permisssion to do anything, including change persmissions. I don't want to
go adjusting ownership of all these folders just to get the folder display
back to what it was before I started this customizing.
