Try:
Click the Organize button on any folder, Select Folder and Search Options Click the View tab, Check the Always show icons, never thumbnails checkbox. Click OK

Only other option I can think of is to Customize the folders.
Right click on a folder and click on Properties. Click Customize tab. Click Change Icon button. Select an icon and click OK.
