Default picture is different from real picture

[Guest]

This only happens in one of my folders.
I have a bunch of pictures and when I see them they show a picture. But when
i click edit or preview they show a different picture.
This is troublesome because when I am uploading pictures on photobucket or
flickr.

===================================
Open the folder in question and try deleting
the thumbs.db file...if you do not see the file
go to...Tools / Folder Options / View tab and
tick..."Show Hidden Files and Folders" /
Apply / OK.

Here's some info on thumbs.db

If that doesn't solve the issue...maybe the
following info will be useful:

for a folder are lost or incorrect

You can download TweakUI from the following site.
It has an option to increase Folder Customizations

One user reported that he solved a similar issue
by copying all the images in the offending folder
to a new folder.

Good luck.

You might try right-clicking on the file and folder icons and selecting
"Refresh Thumbnail" from the menu. You can select all the icons in a folder
at once by pressing <Ctrl>-A.
