• Thumbnails are missing in Windows Explorer

  I can't see the thumbnails in Windows Explorer, I could see what had XP, no pictures at all, only when I click to open them, can, in my view, they are.  Also in my graphics software when it is open for photos, don't see them, as the background on all the jpg, different ones for gif etc.  In other words the jpg or gif icons, extended thumbnails etc.  Any ideas how to recover photos?  Thank you in advance.

  Sorry, just saw a similar problem, it settled now, who said the following:

  Response has been: in the Folder Options: open the view tab and make sure that "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked.     This he settled, can now see my photos.

  As noted above, found the answer on another question. Sorry for opening this, should look further into before.

• Thumbnails of PDFs on Windows Explorer

  How would I be able to view the first page of the PDF files as thumbnails in Windows Explorer? I've always been able to do under Windows XP without having to do anything, and I want to be able to do in point 8.1 of Windows 64-bit. This will allow me to manage the files much easier. I plan on upgrading my Dell Inspiron for Windows 10 the day it is released.

  
  

  My computer automatically updated the software Adobe Reader XI to Adobe Reader Document Cloud 15 yesterday, without intervention, or advising me somehow.

  Hi TJinPerspective,

  There is no such customizable setting, however, you can activate the preview in windows Explorer pane, which may help you.

  The Adobe Reader program is updated automatically so in this case if not guests for the permission of the user.

  Kind regards

• Windows Explorer thumbnail JPEG image that is superimposed with the icon in the lower left!

  When displaying thumbnails of JPEGs in windows Explorer, the tile is covered by another icon so that the lower left corner of the thumbnail cannot be considered.  The icon is a blue square with double white arrows on the inside. Someone can tell me which program is what actually happen and how can I stop it from appearing on the tile.

  I suppose that you have an installed Norton Security Suite or Norton 360 and that is what causes these icons.  They exist to indicate whether or not a file was supported upward (I think they become green when she was saved, but I'm not quite sure that I will never use Norton products).  From what I read, there is an option somewhere in the menu or the toolbar of the Norton program to disable this "feature" - you can search yourself or ask for help from technical support of Norton http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/dtree.jsp?pvid= .  I understand why it affects shortcut icons, but I do not understand why it is affecting. JPG files but apparently from what I've read it's very common.

  If you grow tired of Norton and the problems it causes (if you did not experience even further than this, I'm sure you'll eventually - I see a lot of them here), you can switch to the free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html (Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate and Norton or anyone else really adds nothing of value) or maybe Avast to http://www.avast.com/index.  They are both excellent anti-malware programs even if they are free.

  I hope this helps.

• Thumbnails for images JPEG will not appear in Windows Explorer

  I'm running Vista Business 32 bit, Service Pack 1.

  This is a whole new problem after 2 years of normal operation.   I did not any management JPG files for a few weeks, some had downloaded several regular MS updates and added or not deleted any other program.

  And now I can see is more glimpses of my JPEGs in Windows Explorer - if I choose display in mosaic, or small, medium or large icons.   Only the generic 'image' icon.  This is also true if I try to use gMail to transfer a file and search for it.

  However, the slide show feature is working normally and Windows Photo Gallery works normally and shows all the photos - but is not a file management tool.  Photos also normally open in programs like Photoshop.

  I checked the properties system under Performance Options/Visual Effects and ticked 'show previews and filters in folder' and then 'apply' - but it has no effect.  I checked the associated file and select the default Windows Photo Gallery.  It also had no effect.

  Not being able to preview and rename the picture files in Win Explorer / my computer is a serious problem for me.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Try checking the Control Panel / folder Options / view, "always show icons. never thumbnails", see if you have to uncheck?

• Windows Explorer - file list grayed out

  The files listed in Windows Explorer icons are gray.  Some programs cannot find these files.
  For example, the thumbnail of a jpg file is grayed out.  If I open the file with Windows and FAX viewer, the image appears but if I opened with Microsoft Picture Manager image is not displayed and a message saying that no files are in the folder.  Other programs, Eudora, BasicX, also can not find the files.  Microsoft Word and PowerPoint have not problems.  I recently did a system restore to two days ago for override contained in an attachment to email USPS.com false Trojan horse.

  Any help is appreciated.

• Windows Explorer: Files & grayed out after Trojan Virus deleted folders

  Lucky me some site I went to via an alert Google downloaded a virus and I had to restore my Dell PC to factory settings. In any case, I keep all my data on 2 external hard drives, so I didn't lose data on the C:\ drive.

  So, everything is 'back to normal' but one of my external hard drives, a Maxtor 3200, exploring with Windows Explorer showed no top file until I selected in Windows Explorer, the option 'To see the hidden files' - now I can see and even access to files and folders, but they are all grayed out when displayed in Windows Explorer. I reread the Maxtor and AVG shows as own. Any help is greatly appreciated!
  David

  When you choose to show hidden files, then any file or folder that is hidden will appear gray as you describe.  What you need to do is to display the files and folders.  You can do this by right-clicking the file or folder, select 'Properties' and uncheck 'hidden '.  Another method is to open a command window (start-> run-> "cmd") and use the "attrib" command to show files and folders.

• How can I refresh the thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

  In Windows 7, Windows Explorer tries to display the contents of the subfolders under icon. It is a great way to see what is in multiple folders at the same time.

  However, when I create a new folder, it is assigned to the default folder icon - and I find no way of refreshing it once I added some content in the folder.

  Here is a screencap of some of my music files - highlighted that now contained in it, but I can't make it look like the records around her:
  

  In Windows XP, you could do this by right-clicking on the icon and choosing "Refresh thumbnail" in the context menu. This is not an available option in Windows 7, at least that I see.

  Any input greatly appreciated!

  Hmmm...
  Do you already run cleaning Manager and delete the cache of thumbnails?

  Cleanmgr %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe/c /sageset:65535 & /sagerun:65535 Cleanmgr

  paste it into the run window. VP Tech Services

• Why can not display the PSD thumbnail in windows Explorer 8

  Hello

  Nice day.

  I have a problem, as I just installed the 8 House window and the CC of Photoshop, but I can't view thumbnail in windows Explorer PSD 8.

  Has anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you.

  Settle in the Photoshop forum.

• Change the Jpeg file taken time in the "Date" column to windows explorer for modification time?

  I just found out that JPEGs, edited and recorded by CS4 still wear their original creation time in windows Explorer, regardless of how many times they have been modified, which makes it very inconvenient and confusing, without opening the files to find out. Does anyone know how to change the setting to 'Update?' Thank you very much in advance!

  You say that you see the creation Date column in Windows Explorer, but not update?

  If this is the case, it's an easy fix...  In Windows Explorer, right click on the bar with the titles (for example, on the title the creation Date) and check the update box.  Normally the update, this is what is displayed by default Explorer for the elements of the General.  I don't know what is shown for other types of files, I use only general articles.

  What do you see when you follow these steps:

  1. right click on the folder that contains your images (in the navigation to the left).

  2. Select Properties.

  3. click on the Customize tab.

  4 what was the optimize this folder for: of the field?

  FYI, as you can see you can change folder for example, customizing the general articles for one or a whole folder tree.

  You can also make changes to one of your folders of photos, and then propagate the settings to all folders of this type in your system.  I'm really jump coming here; I would like to know if that's what you eventually want to do.
