Bug with Windows/Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

[Pragadheesh]

Hi,

Recently I copied few photos from my digi cam to my laptop. And what i found was, in Thumbnail view, the Image preview on the photos are different from the actual file.

i.e consider if the Image preview on a file is image of a Forest, on Opening the file in Windows Fax viewer i get image of a Seashore.

The Actual image is that of a seashore. But in image preview i'm getting different images.

How to get rid of this.? It is really annoying. I open a file expecting a image and it turns out to be a different image.

perhaps it would be better to use Picasa or IrfanView for image previews and views !!!

Your picture folder must have a hidden file called thumbs.db. Delete this file and refresh. You should have all the thumbnails correct now.

The problem is not with Windows Fax viewer but with Thumbnail preview in Windows explorer. The thumbnail preview is giving a different image(of some other photo in the same folder) that what is actaully present in the file.

Yes, just delete the hidden thumbs.db file in the folder containing the images.

^^yeah the thumbnail database file - thumbs.db might be the culprit. Alternate you can try picasa photo viewed, that comes with picasa.
