not sure if thumbnail preview is the right term ..... hi all - wanted to ask about why or how i might be able to fix ....... when i open a folder .... 1. if its full of pdf files (ex.: e-books) i dont see the preview / covers of the e-books any more - just the foxit icon 2. if the folder is full of videos (ex: movies) i dont see a small clip of a scene as before now i only see my VLC Player icon. (the big orange cone) was there some setting that i might changed, not realizing? [b].....[/b]i recently disabled Desktop Window Manager Session Manager (ACCIDENTALLY) - of course & i its re enabled now..... [b].....[/b]have tried like crazy to better boot time by following the guide at [url=http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm]Black Viper[/url] [b].....[/b]at this moment im using the Vista Basic Theme (no aero) [b].....[/b]i really dont care much for the thumbnail previews on taskbar [b]..[/b] when i open a folder and click on organize & select folder and search options..... under view tab - the option "always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked. ???? [b]..[/b] have also tried clearing the thumbnail cache by deleting thumbnails under disk cleanup???? SORRY for the long post but i HAVE been trying to resolve on my own. hang'n by a thread here :unsure: (OS: Windows Vista Service Pack 2)
