Show picture file as explorer icon

[Guest computergrampa@gmail.com]

When I was using 98se,

I had the default icon set to %1,

and this would cause windows explorer,

to show every file icon that was a picture file,

to show the picture as the icon.

 

How do I do this for XP Pro?

It's not thumbnails I'm after.

I had explorer set up so that the view was details,

AND every picture file (.jpg, .gif, .tiff, etc.)

would be shown as the minature of the picture in the file.
