Weird! Thanks! It seemed to fix my problem. The mismatching has
disappeared.

My Tools - Folder Options - View - "Hide unprotected operating system
files (Recommended) was unchecked, so I first went to the 'tiles' view
and deleted the .db file. Then returned to the 'thumbnails' view
which re-created the .db file. My filename-image mismatch still
occurred (I did note that the .db file was re-created with today's
date/time). But, and I do say but, when I then went to
Tools - Folder Options - View - and checked "Hide unprotected
operating system files (Recommended), the mismatching disappeared.
I can only hope it stays that way. It has been confusing, and forced
me not to use thumbnails, which I really liked.
