See what I mean by the thumbnails? And when you get into the folders, those thumbnails are fuzzy too, but the picture when you open it is fine... I think this occured when I was copying the my pictures from my old primary drive to my new primary drive. *sighs* Anyway to like, rebuild them?
 
try showing hidden files and folders and system files (in folder options) and delete thumbs.db

then they should rebuild themselves.
 
ms's tweak ui has a thumbnail quality setting. but you will have to find and clear the previous thumbnails for it to take effect on the old 1's

There is a hidden icon cache file in your windows directory, ShellIconCache, which contains a copy of all the default desktop icons. It sometimes gets corrupted. If it does, your icons will go all black or they may display the wrong icons. If this happens, delete it and reboot. NT (& Win9x) will repopulate the cache with the default icons. To delete the ShellIconCache:
at a command prompt, change to the %SystemRoot% folder
remove the hidden attribute from the file:
type attrib -h shelliconcache and press ENTER.
delete the file:
type del shelliconcache and press ENTER.
logoff and backon and the default icons should be restored.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
