Re: Folder.jpg

It's even worse than I thought.

Not only were the attributes of my folder.jpg files (which I created
and saved there) changed to Hidden and System, in some cases they
were completely overwritten by a different image containing the words
"No Image Available" and a taunting smile. As if I was supposed to be
happy about that.

Sorry but it was not obvious to me that you created them yourself.
Best of luck with the mediaplayer group but (FWIW) I cannot verify
your problem. WMP does not change the attributes on any folder.jpg for
me. Try changing the Internet access in WMP and see if it helps.

I put them there, and I don't want WMP to mess with them. Other
than never starting WMP, is there any way to get it to leave them
as visible user files?

I'll re-post in microsoft.public.multimedia.windows.mediaplayer.

They are produced by Windows Media Player.
If you don't let it access the Internet, then it won't find the
images, which should be connected with music files in the relevant
folder.
Why not just leave them as Hidden and System? They are doing no harm,
although you can just delete them if you don't want them.

In various directories on my hard disk I have an image file named
folder.jpg. Recently I discovered that somehow their attribute bits
had been set to Hidden and System. I know I didn't deliberately do
it. Any ideas why or how this happened, and how I might prevent it
in the future?

I can change them all back by issuing this command at the root:

attrib -s -h folder.jpg /s

but this is a nuisance and time-consuming. Rather than have to keep
undoing the change, I'd rather prevent it in the first place.
