How to restore "Pictures" "Videos" folder's appearance

Hi

I changed location of Videos and Pictures folder's to a second HDD and when I changed it back to default then appearance of that folder changed to a regular folder.

Any idea how to restore the folder icon back to default? Thanks



I have found a solution for windows xp in this  page but that doesn't work in windows 8.1

Hi,

We need to enable folder thumbnail preview in Folder option:

Open Folder Options and click/tap on the View tab.

Uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails, and click/tap on OK.

If it is not work, we need to reset icon catch and try again:

Hi Kate

"Always show icon, never thumbnails" was unchecked. I ran the script but with no success. This is what came up

Note: I ran PowerShell normal and I also try to ran it as administrator. This pic is with administrator.


I also changed execution policy to undefined and I get the same result
