unfortunately that method does not work for me
also, my files do not end with .jpeg, .gif, .avi, .wmv etc when viewing as thumbnails
If I am understanding you correctly you do not see the file extensions in your folders. If this is the case, open the folder, click on "tools' scroll down to " folder options" then click on the view tab in folder options and uncheck
" hide extensions for known file types" then click on apply and ok. My apoligies if you already are aware of this.
I am also wondering if you have "always show icons and never thumnails" checked in the above mentioned folder options.
Good luck.
Let us know how you make out.
