Thumbnails

#1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2009

When displaying thumbnails of JPEG files stored on CD, the thumbnail is
overlaid by the Internet Explorer icon so that the bottom left corner of the
thumbnail is hidden. This happens when reading from drive D (CD R/W) but not
drive E (CD & DVD R/W) or the hard disc. Is there a way to prevent the icon
showing?

Although it's an IE icon, it's a Windows problem, Fred. Assuming WinXP,
post here instead: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

I have followed the suggestion put forward by Don

"Follow the procedure in this article to reset the icon cache.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=926715"

This removes the unwanted icons, but only until I reboot the computer. They
then reappear, but only when looking at JPEGs stored on drive D.

I wish that had worked. It was my #1 idea. ;-)

What program opens JPGs by default? Check that at Control Panel> Folder
Options> File Types> JPG> Advanced.

Do you have CD/DVD burner software loading at startup?

First chance to respond.
Default program is Windows Picture and Fax viewer. No problems in opening
the file.
When reading drive "D", as well as putting the explorer icon on the
thumbnails view, it uses the "unidentified file type" icon in the icons view
and the explorer icon in the Tiles view. Any other source is displayed
correctly

After resetting the cache as you suggest, all three display errors are
corrected until I reboot.
