I am using windows vista and I have video files in this folder. Here is my problem: I can't get the files to show as "preview thumbnails" so I can get a preview picture of what the video content has on it. Does that make sense? Anyone have any ideas? All info is greatly appreciated! I have attached a picture.

Attached File(s)

explorer.jpg (183.27K)
Number of downloads: 2

Have you tried this?

Open the Start Menu, right-click on 'Computer' and click on 'Properties'.
Click on 'Advanced system settings' in the upper left hand corner of the window.
Open the 'Advanced' tab and click on the 'Settings' button under the 'Performance' group.
Make sure that 'Show thumbnails instead of icons' is ticked.

Let me know how things go.

@master131, it was a good shot, I tried it however it says the file is not found. I think I am missing the file. Do you know a good legit source to locate the file?
