UPDATED: There is a new program will fix this problem is called “Yammm” by mikinho
Download YammmSetup.msi (452) 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:
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.

I’ve just added my OCZ Core Series 64GB SSD to my HTPC Antec Veris Fusion 430 case. I used double-sided foam tape to attached the SSD on top PSU case (as you see images below). The pretty thing is that SSD does not create much heat and no vibration at all, that’s the advantage of it. I’ve left a little bit space on the right side if I ever wanted to add another 2.5″ drive beside it.

My current HTPC system use the motherboard integrated graphic Geforce 8200 chipset. In the future I may upgrade it to a low profile video card. I’m looking at this Sparkle GeForce 9600/9800GT low profile 512MB GDDR3 with HDMI output. With this graphic card, I could watch my Blu-ray movies like butter I guess or play some games.
Another storage upgrade would be a Seagate 7200.12 1TB (2 platters). I just filled up my 500GB with over 70 DVD quality movies in it and still have 150GB left for few more. I haven’t got any kind hard drive over 1TB yet cause they are so freaking slow, Right now, there are firmware problems with the previous Seagate 7200.11 1TB and 1.5TB drive, I wouldn’t buy any of those drives and so much hassle with upgrade firmware.
