Some random folders in explorer are displaying the wrong thumbnails. A while ago I set a picture for a thumbnail for a folder in my pictures. Say if I go to Docs&Settings, all the Users folders are displayed in thumbnail view (idk why, for some reason, XP has that set as a Photo Album) and they all have that same picture I used for folder in My Pictures. I have since deleted that picture and it still happens. Is there a way to flush thumbnail pictures or something so I don't see that picture of the camera on all my folders? I've tried manually doing "restore default" thumbnail but that's only a temporary fix. Thanks.

No time for love, Dr. Jones!

Follow the instructions at the link below and delete the Thumbs.db file if it exists and also turn off "Do not cache thumbnails". It's possible that the current Thumbs.db file is corrupt. It's worth a shot and won't hurt anything.

"Thumbs.db" File

El Klandero, Did you get the problem corrected and if you did how did you correct it? It would help others in the future.
