Win 7 Not Displaying Icon Pictures

I'm sure there must be a setting in the Windows 7 operating system to change this.  My Track Icons folders do not display the actual Icon pictures.  They all display with the same generic Windows .bmp picture. It makes no difference which display options I choose, i.e. Tiles, List, Large Icons, etc.  The only way to see the Icon picture is to right click the Icon and choose Preview.  Obviously that's a very slow process to find what I would like.  What Windows setting is wrong?  Thanks for your help.

    Or this...
     
    In Windows Explorer, click Organize / Folder and Search Options / View Tab.
    Make sure that the option Always show icons never Thumbnails is NOT selected.
