actually he means that he cant see the picture on the icon he has kept by the customization,..but he sees 4 pics togather arranged properly on the icon and these four pics are the ones which the folder contains.

Means... Windows automatically selects the thumbnail of a folder by showing four photos(randomly) contained in that folder, so that the user can easily identify what would be in that folder.

Now give the soln pls.

I don't think he means that. I also faced a similar prob.
I think he means to say this:
say we hav lots of folder containing mp3.
i choose a customization of folder1 but the same is shown on other folder.
Now solve the matter please.

Use album art.
Assign a picture to one of or all the MP3 songs in the folder. Windows XP will automatically show that picture when you enable thumbnail view.
