Right click on the folder name. Click on Properties. Click on Customize tab,
select Pictures for the type of folder.

With XP, when you have a folder and the first file listed in the folder is a
photo file (.jpg for example) the default is to give you Picture Tasks. If
the first file listed is not a photo file you then have to Customize the
folder as a Picture folder to get Picture Tasks. When you checked the box,
it only applied to Subfolders in the folder you selected, not ALL folders.
