Ok, ive searched through the past posts and nothing seems to help. When I list the viewing for my folders as "thumbnails" all i get is the icon for the program that opens it. Only certain folders do this though...some actually show a thumbnail of the picture...other folders show only the icon of the program that opens the pic. Please help me get the other folders to show me the acutal thumbnail!!

What files are you trying to view as thumbnails? Generally if it's an image file (jpg, gif, bmp, etc), it will show the thumbnail of the picture. If you're looking at folders in thumbnail view, all you're going to see are folder icons...unless the folder has a special icon.

These are pictures that im trying to view...JPG's to be exact

Try this little program... http://www.sharewareplaza.com/RefreshEm-download_17391.html It refreshes the icon cache.
