Windows 7 wrong thumbnail picture

Krony · Mar 20, 2011

As u can see in the pic all my thumbnails on images show the same picture, some show a different one but none are correct, not sure how i managed to achieve this lol, any clues plz

ctrl-F5 does a force refresh in browsers, dunno if it works in windows explorer.

otherwise, use CCleaner and clear your thumbnail cache.

Tried both and still same lol.

You had too much beer and your PC got drunk. Wait for its hangover to pass.

you have to reboot after cleaning thumbs cache

Either, what Mussels said, or...
Looks like you have dis-abled thumbnail previews some how... as, that is the default file folder icon.

If you are using any system speed up utilities, they may have disabled it.
Look here and try to turn it back on.

well, there ya go.

i personally prefer showing the icons, as the thumbnails can be slow as crap to load on occasion.

Krony · Mar 20, 2011

Well i have loads of pics with similar names and i like to view em really.

Try control panel / system / advanced system settings.

On the box that comes up click advanced tab and where it says performance click the settings button.

Have a look in the list to see if any visual setting has disabled itself, I'm sure there is settings for thumbnails.

Apart from that no idea atm.
