Win 7 icons for wmv files
I have win7 sp1 and used to have small pictures of my wmv files.
Now they say wmv and have a small picture of what looks like balloons. How can I get back the icons showing what is in the wmv? Thank you for any help. |

Thank you for any help. Some one or thing has altered the folder properties. You'll have to get them back. Click on View, Customise this folder; Optimise for Videos, Apply, OK. Then View, Large Icons. Ed |

My understanding was that icons are static and have no relation to a file's contents. Once you introduce the concept of including what's in the video, you have a thumbnail. -- Char Jackson |

Thumbnail view shows a preview of the videos. I was looking to get a thumbnail of the video. I did find how to restore them from a forum about windows. Thank you for the help. I can post what they said if anybody is interested. |

My understanding was that icons are static and have no relation to a file's contents. Once you introduce the concept of including what's in the video, you have a thumbnail. Or one could describe a thumbnail as a special type of icon. Especially if one is not that aware of the distinction. If the OP meant thumbnails, it would be nice to help him get them even if he used the word icon. On reading his post, it's clear that he indeed meant thumbnails. To disambiguate: I am agreeing with you, BobbyM, and just expanding on what you said. Unfortunately I don't know how to help the OP... -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

How can I get back the icons showing what is in the wmv? Thank you for any help. I usually have my folders set to view details so I had no thumbnails/icons either. Went to the little down arrow options menu in the upper right corner, beneath the search box, and chose med/large/extra large icons. All of these options showed thumbnails displaying the content of the video. Choosing small icons only gave a tiny, generic icon, no vid. If this doesn't work for you I'm stumped. -- Pat email: valid would be net |

You've obviously not got the "always show icons, never thumbnails" box ticked under Folder options. Ed |
