UPDATED: There is a new program will fix this problem is called “Yammm” by mikinho

Download YammmSetup.msi (1128) here.

This is little program will automatic download all the DVD artworks and fix the folder.jpg problem in WMC.

Enjoys.

Windows Media Center version 6.1.7100.0 (WMC) integrated in Windows 7 RC1 has a little bit problems loading Movies folder image (folder.jpg). I’ve just found out how to fix it by old fashion Vista way. So here is how:

WMC Gallery

Open Regedit and locate to DvdSettings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\
Windows\
CurrentVersion\
Media Center\
Settings\
DvdSettings\

Now, create a new String Value name “ShowGallery” and set value data to “Gallery“.

Restart your PC and start up your WMC again and will see all your folder.jpg as a gallery.

      Hi i tried this method but it didnt work, i had to add the DvdSettings value because it wasn’t there at all, after adding the other 2 entries “AltCacheLocation” & “Version” and of course the string “ShowGallery” it still didnt work after restart, any ideas? im using RC1 build 7100

      Thanks in advance.

      Hey Tom, sorry…

      Ya, me too. I got it work the first time, but sometime it doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know what’s wrong, some of the Movies art album picture (folder.jpg) show only.

      I think it’s still a bug release.
