When I open Windows Explorer I and go to my Picture File, the Thumbnails don't always show correctly. I can open Windows Explore and see no Thumbnails displayed but if I open another copy, it's better but not all come up. I have multiple folders, some display no thumbnails (a blank white sheet), others show a few and others show more. I also get a green bar at the top that never finishes. Sometimes, I open Explorer, and if I try to expand the Folder Tree on the left panel it won't expand, The Files are on an External Flash Drive. I've tried many troubleshooting searches for the problem so yes, I have the Folder Option, "View" set to "Display thumbnails." This is a recent problem. One last thing, the computer seems as it's freezing and not updating the thumbnails, but currently the CPU usage is only 4% under Task Manager.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Did you make any changes to your Windows Operating System recently? Sounds like the aftermath of a "tune up" that went wrong.
That being said, the data that has no thumbnails.... can you open them and view the data, I'm curious to know if it's corrupted.
Windows explorer on my system cannot display all the thumbnails my photo folder. When the pictures are copied to a newly created folder, all are initially shown. However when I access the folder later, a lot of the thumbnails are gone : only the default
icons are shown.
I have set folder options to Always show icons, never thumbnails.
I have even tried deleting the thumbnail cache and rebuilding the cache but to no avail.
Could anyone help me on this please?
Thanks.

http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/223896-vista-64-not-showing-avi-thumbnails-explorer.htmlI have checked in the only two places I was aware of that would cause this:
Folder Options - View ....however, there is no option there to check show Thumbnails. I believe this option should be there at the top, but it isnt.
I also went to Properties of My Computer, Advanced, Performance. It is checked there to show Thumbnails.
But for whatever reason, I only see icons when I should see thumbnails. And yes, I have changed the view to Medium, large, extra large.
Hello Dave,
You might double check through each option in the tutorial below to see if it may help. It's for Windows 7, but it's the same in Windows 8 except "Windows Explorer" is "File Explorer" in OPITION FOUR instead.

Hi,
I know there are some threads about this. but I couldn't solve my problem using those. so I decided to make a new thread instead of bumping the old ones.
Well, Here is my problem:
recently I installed a fresh copy of windows 8 on my PC. it was nothing wrong with it till I installed Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 (v. 10.1.0.867) & did a reboot.
Now non of my files including picture, audio & video files show thumbnails or even tags (ex mp3 files).
I've tried the solutions stated about turning thumbnails on & off with no luck. in my folder options the option "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is UNCHECKED.
Has anybody faced the problem?? Is the issue from Kaspersky?? Are there any workarounds??
I truly Appreciate any help.
PS. I also have some difficulties pinning folders to windows explorer taskbar icon since then.

My original problem was this: whenever I double-clicked on a thumbnail in Windows Explorer, the picture would open up in Paint Shop Pro but when I wanted another picture to come up in the PSP application that was already open, it would open up another PSP instead.
I thought I found a solution to this after looking online (can't remember exactly what it was now but I entered something in start, run) only now I have another problem because I can't view any thumbnails in Windows Explorer.
Can anyone help me get my thumbnails back and also solve my problem with PSP opening up lots of times for every photo I want to view? Thanks! :wave:
Okay, I've found a solution to the thumbnails not showing up - did start, run and then regsvr32 thumbvw
I'm still having several PSP's opening up when I want to view several pictures though... any ideas anyone? Please?
For all my photos, unless I view them in "Windows Photo Gallery which is inconvenient -- I want to view them in Windows Explorer, I do not see real true thumbnails, I just see this default scene of water, green hills and sky.

I NEVER had a problem like this in XP. I'm beginning to understand why Vista has such a bad reputation. Using (or attempting to use) Vista Home Premium 64-bit, BTW, (much less important question) why doesn't my Photoshop Elements even show up as an option when I set default programs? Any help is appreciated. This problem was annoying before but to still have it after going thru all these forum instructions is really annoying.
Hello Angelag, and welcome to Vista Forums.
You can use Open With on the file type and browse to the Photoshop Elements exe file to have it open the file type with that program by default instead.
Have you checked the View settings in Windows Explorer to see if it is set to either Medium Icons, Large Icons, or Extra Large Icons to see a thumbnail preview of the file image as the icon?

My experience is that the thumbnails reflected by Explorer view...only update when the folder/Explorer window is opened.
I suppose that using a photo album, rather than explorer, might result in the desired updated images you seek.
I tend to give any edited image a new filename, keeping track of them in that manner while also retaining my originals.

Not matter how many times I let Explorer build the thumbnails, after any reboot or shutdown/power-on the thumbnails get erased and I have to rebuild them again. It happens with all images and videos the same. Any idea why is this happening?
IMO, Windows 8 is definitely cool, but it has some rough edges that should've been ironed out before prime time.
I too experience these behaviour. everytime I open Explorer (File Explorer on Windows 8) it always loads the thumbnails it doesn't save...
any ideas guys?

It first started to happen only in my pictures but now has occurred in my documents or any other folder with pics or videos. If I view files in list view everything is ok but I don't like this view. When my documents open in thumbnail view, it takes only a few second for that "we are sorry for the inconvenience" message to show up and so I press don't send which closes windows explorer. I copied all files in my documents into a external hard drive and the same thing happened.
Is there a corrupt file causing this? is so then how do I find it. I have tried scannow in cmd which didn't work.
Or is the problem with windows xp files?
thanks
Things I've tried:
1. I have Haali Media Splitter installed (from CoreAVC) options>>explorer integration (yes)>>Thumbnails offset (10000)
2. WMP Playback Pack
3. DivX Preview
None of those worked. I'm running Windows 7 Professional. The KMPlayer is the default to play my MKV files (works great), but I can change that to Windows Media Player if needed to show the details and thumbnails. Any suggestions?
And I can't install DivX Plus Codec Pack like other people have recommend because my laptop isn't connected to the internet (no wireless). To install the other things I've just put the installer on a USB and then installed them from the USB onto my laptop.
They used to. Now all that appears when View is set to "thumbnails" is the Adobe PDF icon.
I used both Jaws PDF Creator and Acrobat 6 to create the PDFs, still no thumbnails appear in Windows Explorer, or in PowerDesk.
What might be the problem?
well, i think i remember in windows xp that whenever you had pictures in any folder, and you were in that folder using windows explorer, that you were able to see a thumbnail of the actual picture IN the folder....
but in windows vista, and now in windows 7 (i upgraded a while ago), i'm not able to see the thumbnail of the actual picture itself....all i see inside the pictures folder (or any folder with pics for that matter), is a little thumbnail of a blue mountain...
i have a bunch of pictures, and i dont like having to click on every single one until i find the one i'm looking for....it VERY inconvenient and time consuming.
so, does anyone know how to fix this? make it so i can see thumbnails of the ACTUAL PICTURE, and not of a blue mountain for every single picture?

I'm never the one to ask, but I don't know what happened. I tried looking online but I couldn't find any solutions. It seems like all my icons (including folders) are not showing up in windows explorer, taskbar, or the desktop anymore. This isn't too big a problem, but navigating through my picture library is very complicated without thumbnails.
My PC is pretty heavily customized.
I also cannot open the start menu from the taskbar anymore. I click the startorb and nothing appears.

Also, while I was uploaded the three screenshots to imgur, the icons showed up on the popup to windows explorer.
start off with a SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker and restart when finished.

I found no solution in Windows Explorer's View menu, Options, and Help.
I would suspect it was due to me shutting down some 'process' or 'service' (2 weeks ago), but as far as I can see, all possibly-relevant processes and services are now running.

I usually just read here but I'm stumped (and no tech!) So thanks in advance for any suggestions!
On my USB external drive, when I connect it to either an XP desktop or a W7 laptop, the video files show as thumbs ie: small pictures of the content. Yet when I connect it to the other W7 desktop, I see generic boxes marked "WMV", "AVI", or whatever. I matched the view properties as far as I can see and am using the same MPC player on them. Any thoughts on how to get the thumbnails to appear?
Set the folder view to "Thumbnails".

I've downloaded a lot of .FLV tutorial files and it would help greatly if I could see the file thumbnails for reference but none are visible.
I've been into Advanced System settings and made sure 'Show thumbnails instead of icons' is checked. I'm playing the vids in WMP and that's working fine but no flv thumbnails.

Hello Sommarblond,
Double check in Default Programs to make sure that Windows Media Player is set as the default program with all of it's associations set to it as well. One or more of the associations may not be set for WMP.

There is a registry issue where sometimes the explorer cannot locate the thumbnails
and there for when browsing through the folder some files dont have a thumbnail but
a generic symbol for the type of folder it is, You can fix it by following the next procedure
1) Save the Registry Fix file as Registry.cmd
2) Then run the batch file with elevated administrator privileges.
And you should see an improvement,

I read somewhere that all you have to do to see thumbnails on the desktop is to right click on a clear area of the desktop -> View -> Thumbnails
But I don't have View when I right click on my desktop not even in grayed out, so how do I enable thumbnails on my desktop?
I do have thumbnails everywhere else and when I go to the desktop with Explore I get thumbnails there but not on my actual desktop. I set my folder options to custom view for all folders.

I'm running Windows 2000, and I want to be able to see JPEG images when I select "Thumbnails" under the View menu. Currently, the only images that display are Windows bit map images (BMP). I know it's possible to see JPEG windows as thumbnails under Windows 2000 because I used to have a different computer that ran 2000 and did display JPEGs. However, I got a new computer that doesn't. I'm assuming there is a way to tell Windows 2000 to display JPEG images in thumbnails, but I can't find any reference to thumbnail views in Windows help or on the Microsoft website.
Any suggestions, please?

Some of the thumbnails aren't showing up windows explorer even though they are the same file type. There will be 12 episodes of a show in .AVI or .MKV, and only 9 will have thumbnails, the other 3 don't. I have the Haali Media Splitter on to show thumbnails and I installed the Windows Service Pack to to it too (not sure which one is actually working, if I had to guess I'd say it's Haali).
To enable the thumbnails on Haali Media Splitter I click it, the went: options → explorer integration → show thumbnails (yes) → thumbnails offset (10000)
Not sure what is wrong...can anyone help?
And this is a problem with pretty much all the file types, some thumbnails showing and some not when they're in the same folder and I got them from the same source (all the files in a folder are either AVI or MKV, but the problem happens with both)
Just within the past week or so, when viewing pics in windows explorer, only some of the thumbnails will show the image they are representing. Some won't. I tried rebuilding the library and doing Disk Cleanup to delete them so they'd rebuild; I've checked/unchecked the "show icons not thumbs" to see if that would kick it into showing it. Nothing has helped.
Also, maybe related, when opening up any Windows explorer window, the green bar at the top is very slow to load all the way to the right, sometimes never getting to the other side.

Anyway, this is the problem .... I have my music folder, and all subfolders, "optimized" for music. In an artist folder, the album folders will usually show the proper album artwork.
However, when I go up a level, the artist folder doesn't show the album thumbnails in it. In this picture, you can see Barenaked Ladies doesn't display properly--- but their neighbor, Band of Horses, displays just fine. It's this inconsistency that really confuses me.

I inadvertantly semi installed a photo editor prog off the Office Premium disk (i have now uninstalled it) this meant all my JPEG files then wanted the Office CD to open the file.
I have since put the file association back to normal (IE) but now the Thumbnails view is not working for JPEGS in the My Picture folder.
Bitmaps work but in the JPEG boxes I just get the JPEG file icon and not the actual thumbnail,
any ideas?

Hi hollyw,
Welcome to Vista Forums!
Here's a tutorial on how to do this in a variety of ways. Try them in the order presented as that's from the simplest to the most complex (even though I imagine you tried the first few already). Note the comment (and link to the procedure) near the top to set the default program to Windows Photo Gallery if none of the other options work (which you may or may not want to consider - or perhaps at least try to see if it works - let us know either way - and change it back if you don't want that as the default): Thumbnails in Windows Explorer.
If that doesn't work, try rebuilding the Icon Cache: Icon Cache - Rebuild to see if that helps.
If that doesn't work, you may want to clear the thumbnail cache (it won't delete anything but the cache and will rebuild itself when you open folders though it may take more time the first time you do so as it needs to do this first). Here's how: Thumbnail Cache.
I hope this helps. If not, post back with results of what you tried and we'll try some different options.
Good luck!

The mistake you seem to have done is reinstalling Windows 7 on the SSD with the other drive also connected.
Just disconnect the other drive and try to boot your system. If it does not boot, then definitely the boot files are on the other drive.
Simplest solution I would perform is to reinstall Windows 7 on the SSD after disconnecting the other drive.
Confirm you are able to boot into the system and then groom your Windows 7 on it.
Afterwards you can connect the other drive and format it the way you like.

This is why when you install Acdsee, you do a custom install and DON'T associate Jpeg files with it.
But anyway, open Regedit, and navigate to "HKCR\.jpe\PersistentHandler"
Is the default value "{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"? Check the same for .JPG and .JPEG
Make a backup of whatever values are there, and change them too the value I gave above. Reboot, and see if your thumbnail views are back. If not, then restore the default values for PersistenHandler to whatever value they where, and then uninstall ACDsee to see if that will restore them.
If uninstalling ACDSee worked, then install it again but DON'T associate JPG files with it. I have ACDSe Pro 2 installed, and thumbnails show just fine here.
For sometime now, I have been unable to get thumbnails to work for most video formats. .avi is the only one that shows thumbs. .mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpeg4, etc, show only icons. .mov shows QT icon, and the rest show WMP icon. I USED to have thumbs, but not for while.
Yes, Thumbnails is selected under view. And I have already checked the ShellEx registry key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mpegfile and it is setup correctly. I also ran a script to reset thumbnail views

Hi icehammer, welcome to Eightforums!
As far as I understand your question, you want to be able to see the artwork of your m4a music files when browsing with Windows Explorer.
I myself have most of my music in m4a format and I can see all the albumart in Windows Explorer.

Here is the downloadlink ==> Download K-Lite Codec Pack
Just remember, if you run a x64 Windows you MUST install the x64 codecpack AFTER you install the NORMAL codecpack. If you have other codec packs installed please uninstall them first!

Welcome to SevenForums Balian,
Can you make a screen shot or use the snipping tool of what it looks like in
Windows Explorer ?

I am running windows XP and for some reason when I look at windows explorer it shows I have a C and D drive, both with the same name and same files. I am afraid to erase the D drive because I don't want to accidentally erase the C drive. I have looked on microsofts site and found nothing. I am running an HP pavilion.
Hi pbman41
to BleepingComputer.
On my Pavilion, the D: drive is the Recovery partition on the main C: drive. This is the area which will restore your computer back to factory condition if everything goes wrong. GUARD IT WITH YOUR LIFE, and do not add or delete anything from it.
If that is not what it is on your PC, it may be a backup created by some program on your machine.
Cheers
I have a problem where the left pane of the windows explorer bar is greyed out and it shows nothing. The right pane however works fine.
I have seen the article in relation to how to fix this problem on a Windows 95 and 98 machine but not a Windows 2000 machine as the registry key mentioned does not exist in Win2k.
Any idea anyone ?
Hi Jeeviz....See if this site is any help http://searchsystemsmanagement.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid20_cid461699_tax287574,00.html

Welcome to Seven Forums,
Have you gone through these troubleshooting steps?
My explorer large icons doesn't work, but instead just produce blank invisible square as shown on the picture below.
Here's what I tried and didn't help:Assigning the correct PATH variables
Delete the icons cache/reboot
No system restore point
Also the desktop background can't be set.
Thank you in advance!
Hello djvisage,
In addition, reset and clear the thumbnail cache to see if that may help.
Thumbnail Cache - Clear and Reset
Hi,
I recently upgraded to Windows 8 on my Boot Camp partition (i'm aware that Apple hasn't officially released drivers for 8 yet, i'm still running the Windows 7 Boot Camp drivers and so far it seems stable).
I've ran into a little problem in the Explorer. As i'm using an SSD, i have my Windows partition fairly small (~50GB) so i keep all of my photos on my Mac partition and don't duplicate them over.
When trying to browse through these photos on the Windows side, i can see the file name and the icon, and they open perfectly in Windows Picture Viewer, but within Explorer they all show the same default Windows "Mountain by the lake" icon.
I've been into Folder Preferences and told it only to display thumbnails and not the icon but still no luck...
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for your help
I am going to say that because the pics actually reside on OSX, windows is unable to create a thumnail cache. It does this to speed up the viewing time, however your windows really doesn't "own" the pics folder on OSX and may not be able to build this cache properly and therefore you would not have any thumnails. here is an excert from the mighty Wikipedia about it:
"Beginning with Windows Vista, thumbnail previews are stored in a centralized location on the system. This provides the system with access to images independent of their location, and addresses issues with the locality of Thumbs.db files. The cache is stored at %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer as a number of files with the label thumbcache_xxx.db (numbered by size); as well as an index used to find thumbnails in each sized database.
However, when browsing network shares with write permission, Windows Vista and Windows 7 store a Thumbs.db file in the remote directory instead of using the (local) central thumbnail cache. This can cause issues when deleting remote shares, as the directory will become locked for a period of time when selected as Windows Explorer automatically creates a remote Thumbs.db file.
Creating Thumbs.db files on remote shares can be disabled with a Group Policy setting"
Hope that makes some sense, it would seem that is the problem to me any way.
Geeve
Edit: you could just grab a couple of pics and move them over to the windows side and see if it gives you your preview, that would at least test the cache theory anyway.
Hi
in explorer i set thumbnails very big/large
is there a tweak to make them bigger?
thanks
cheers
Hello Drugo,
Sorry, but the icons view will only go up to Extra Large Icons. However, you could turn on the Preview Pane, and adjust it's border and the window's border to change the size of supported images in the preview pane like below.
Hope this helps some,
Shawn
recently I have noticed that explorer does not show thumbnails for either my mpg or mpeg files. it works fine for avi however. I checked the shellex registry keys for both file types and they are the same as on my laptop which does not have the problem.
any ideas?

I have read similar problems on this forum, but, unfortunately, did not solve mine.
After installing a software (I'm not sure which, it could be VLC or ffdshow codecs or videopad), video thumbnails in Windows Explorer would not show a frame from the video, just the icons. I then downloaded a .reg file which restored the video thumbnails, but now it only shows the first frame of the video, which is usually blank. So now all my videos show a blank black picture, which was not so earlier. Before the problem started, it would pick up a random frame from the video...
Could anyone help out, please?

Icon Cache - Rebuild
Hi, when browsing a directory of images I'm not able to see thumbnails. I cannot remember installing any program around the time this occurred to screw up my associations.
Can you help me fix this? (Specs are in my profile)
Go to Start > Search > type Disk Cleanup > click on the the disk cleanup app, check Thumbnails then click OK.
This will clean, and rebuild your thumbnail cache.
Hey guys,
Did a quick search and only found posts about windows re-doing thumbnails, not when they are gone altogether!
Any ideas? As far as I can remember this happened totally randomly!
Max
UPDATE: I've just realised that this is ALL files, not just images and it doesnt matter if they are on the desktop / pendrive / google drive etc..
Hello darksupernova,
Double check using the tutorial below to make sure that you have thumbnail previews enabled.

I got a problem with my baracuda HDD.
It's a 500GB HDD and I divided it in 2 partition.
1st partition shows up, but the second one is not.
The 2nd partition is already a formated partition ( Primary ) and it's healthy.
The problem is It doesn't show and I can't access my data on it. It has no letter, and it's active.
Please help me out guys. This problem persists after I reinstalled my windows on new system HDD
Hi,
Did you create the partition using a Linux operating system? If you did, then that's why it's not showing up.
To get it to show, go into your Disk Management (Start>Search "Disk Management">Create and format disk partitions), and delete the partition. Then, create it again and format it. It should now show up. Reply if you have any concerns or problems.
