Display just a 2d folder.jpg for albums (without folder icon)?

Hi all,
I have several hundred CDs ripped to my music library with each album stored in its own subfolder (which also contains a folder.jpg file of the album art). In XP when I viewed my music folder I saw a 2d thumbnail of the album art for each subfolder, whereas in Vista I see the album art at a 45 degree angle inside a little picture of a folder. This makes it much harder to see at a glance which album is which (and also takes much longer to load the images despite my new PC being several times faster than my old XP one). Is there any way to get rid of the folder icons and just display the album art in 2d like in XP?
Many thanks,
DD

man , i ve been tryin to do that for years and epic fail , i installed xp themes , i created transparent icons , i created icons of the folder.jpg itself and nothing worked , there is no way i could make the folders just show the album art (folder.jpg) only taking the whole thumbnail in large icon view without the folder icon and not on a 30 degree
and yes XP was awesome in that way , i sometimes go to see discographies through my old xp system by network just to see how good they look if folder.jpg was the large icon
please anyone solved this please say something
