> Sorry, how do you do that please? If you're referring to the main folder, as can be seen here, it's set to show hidden files:

If that list in the background shows an alphabetically sorted list of filenames then there is no folder.jpg.  
THis still leaves the thumbs.db file.

The bad news will be: if mp3tag does not show the cover then it is probably not an embedded one but one that is stored somewhere externally. The 2 possibilities of the hidden files are the moste likely options.

Another question is: where do you see the cover?  
Only in WMP (as the explorer window does not show covers).  
Then the cover is most likely in the WMP cache.  
To get rid of the cache go to path  
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Media Player\Grafikcache\LocalMLS  
Delete the whole folder LocalMLS - WMP will recreate it.
