If you have a HTPC (Home Theater PC) or regularly use or stream movies throughout your house you may have noticed how Windows Media Center shows your movie selection as colored text boxes without thumbnails.
There is a solution to this, it might not be the same as your regular folder structure, but for computers that use Media Center, this is a great idea that looks really neat.
Download file2folder from below. Copy it to the folder that contains all your .avi movies and run it (eg. Z:/movies). It will make a folder matching the movies file name and copy the movie file into that folder. Go onto the internet and download the movies poster and save it into that movies folder.
