-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Thumbnails.

Yes, IrfanView, PSP, Paint and Imaging are graphic progs and there are 
many others of varying value and usefulness. I have IrfanView, (amongst 
others) but can't get it to open Thumbnails for some reason right now. 
 My computer locks up! :-( .   I can tell you that jpg files are lossy 
files, which means that everytime they are modified and saved they lose 
quality.Search the net for 'lossy files' for a full explanation if you 
wish. Conversely, please note, BMPpic files, which are much larger in 
byte size,  do not, and it follows  that .bmp is a good format if you 
are going to 'fiddle' with pics.  The other thing is that you should 
have decent size picssomewhere on your computer from which the 
thumbnails are produced.
Try a Start/Search(or find) for a pic file file name, and that ought to 
reveal something better for you. If you don't know a name, try a search 
for "*.jpg" without the commas.  (star/dot/jpg) or try *.bmp.

Perhaps someone else will assist.  Don't be afraid to ask icyflames. 
(Where did that name come from?)
