Ok maybe I'm not explaining this right. When I'm looking a my pics in XP My
Pictures folder and I've been playing around; renaming; deleting pics; I
notice other pics in the foler appear to be doubles. When I click the
thumbnail a different pic opens. So I right mouse click refresh thumbnail and
it fixes it.
Why does this happen?
Since the thumbnails are kept in a separate file in each directory, my
guess is that your alterations are confusing the code that associates
a file with a particularl thumbnail.
I'm not surprised that this association is not robust.
Refreshing will re-scan the files and "heal" the thumbnail associations.
