Problem with folder thumbnails...

[profoundwhispers]

After I substituted the normal windows folder icon with GANT's, I'm having ugly folder thumbnails in My Music and My Pictures folders. What can I do to fix that?

Thank you.

cd \

del /s/q thumbs.db

the icon you selected does not support so large icons as thumbnails are, they have to be around 72x72 if I remember correctly.

how can u configure the size of thumbnails?

you can use TweakUI from XP powertoys:

thanks guys

but the pictures still stick out. The whole thing just scales down, but the pictures are still larger than the folder.

oh well, looks a little better when using small thumbnails.
