Thumbnail view, no text?

**The_Other_One** · 07-13-2005, 03:16 AM

I just went to my documents to play a song I still had sitting there when I realized I had no text under the thumbnails. All the other views are fine, but in thumbnail view, there's no text. I like this view because I tend to have pictures here along with all other types of files. Any clue why it might be doing this?

Please, don't just say switch views, I KNOW I CAN DO THIS!

It's just easier to work with thumbnails, but I kind of need to see the file names too. All other folders seem to be fine, and this one was fine earlier today. Oh, and I've not shut my comptuer down anytime recently, just put it into suspend.

try opening a folder with pics in it, delete the thumbs.db file (you have to have "veiw hidden/system files" enabled), then back out of the folder and the go back in. It should recreate a new thumbs.db file. does that help to solve it?... (just a thought...)
