Re: How do I restore Icons to display as icons rather than thumbnails?

except it caused an odd side effect--now icons appear in windows explorer in
thumbnail view (just like if they were a jpg or png) on a random view from
the icon rather than displaying the best sized icon view. This means at
"small icons" it doesn't even show the icon's image, just a generic file
icon. Eeek, maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all! But now I can't
figure out how to restore icons to displaying in their native view in
explorer! Any help on how to undo this would be much appreciated!
Hi JojoBear,

This tutorial will show you how to use the thumbnails.
