Re: thumbnails have disappeared in My Pictures folders

Bill,

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do with the My Pictures folder /
sub-folders. I thought you're needing to set a thumbnail image for each
folder, and that's the reason I provided the link to the Microsoft
Knowledgebase article. You need to look at paragraph "Manually create a
folder picture" in that article.

"To manually customize the folder picture that the Thumbnails view uses, put
a Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) image file in the folder with a file
name of Folder.gif. You can use any graphic editing program to create the
..gif image."

If I've misunderstood the problem, feel free to rephrase the question once.

Hi Ramesh.

I read the link below and i've tried every option suggested. I think from
earlier posts i have done something to corrupt the registry, though I
wouldn't know where to begin.

Thx.

Bill
