Easy enough to dump the covers and just use a text listing.
1. Open up the skin editor (Pause/Break key).
2. Use the Goto tab to navigate to the screen you want to edit.
3. Click on the section of screen containing the covers. You should see a light green marquee selected.
4. Under the Item > Category > Layout tab in the Skin Editor, choose one of the two "nocover" options.
5. Use the fields just above (Columns, Ratio, etc.) as well as Item>Display>Font to tailor the look of the list to your liking. If you see a Green "Resource" notification pop up when you select the category, you will need to go under Item > Display > Resource and "Unset" it or you will change all the other instances of that resource as well.
Keep in mind that this is not the same thing as having a simple Windows-style file directory in your skin. You will still need to Import and create a proper database. If all you want is a file directory, delete that category and go to Screen > Add and use the Browse button under Folder Browser to Add. However, this will lose you Xlobby's File Types and built-in music control and you will have to rely on Windows file associations for playback.
Hope that helps.
