Could it be that OP is using Explorer to look at images directly on a read only CD (DVD?) and that does not have icons available in the same folder? It would take some time to create icon images so they would not be immediately available anyway.
I suggest he copies images from CD to a new folder on the machine and then opens that folder - he should then be able to use the View option to select viewing format. It will still be slow to display - converting 724 images - particularly if it is an old machine/OS. He can then rename at will or put in relevant sub directories before copying back to a new CD.
