I hate how windows XP trys to make a preview out of the icons for every file, I open a folder and it my computer will go crazy trying to load everything. I just want a normal icon for everything, not a damned preview. I try changing the icon the normal way, but it will stay on the changed icon for a second, then switch back to the preview.

This is what I mean:
See, I want everything to stay as the BS icon, not slowing down my computer and making me wait 5 seconds before I can do anything.

click the little icon next to the folders icon, its called views then choose icons instead of thumbnails

Want to .ZIP all those RvB files and send them to me?

It's only the first season, and a few of the second, but sure.
