Guest Lonewolf_tj Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I've placed a picture on flickr to give you a better idea of what I'm after as my explanations arn't always brilliant. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1468737670&size=o When using windows explorer (on pc not website) in thumbnail mode I'm trying to redirect the thumbnail to a different picture. For example: The thumbnail shows a picture of a rainbow say but when you double click on it the larger picture that opens is different picture within the same folder, say a wedding dress. It was setup on my wifes laptop prior to getting married but the process on how to do it wasn't kept and the person is no longer available to contact.
Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: redirect path of explorer thumbnail in xp (not website) Right-click the image file, and choose "Refresh thumbnail" If that does not help, you may need to delete the file "thumbs.db" in that folder. Note that the Thumbs.db is a hidden file, so you need to first enable Windows to show all files (Tools - Folder Options). -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Lonewolf_tj" <Lonewolf_tj@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BEBCB159-B2A8-44EB-95C6-033648E6BE52@microsoft.com...

Guest Lonewolf_tj Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: redirect path of explorer thumbnail in xp (not website) I think that reverses or resets the thumbnail. I looking for a way to set it back up again so that I can hide a picture behind a thumbnail.
