Title: Windows acting seriously weird... Anyone come across this before? Post by: Gwill on 2007 August 05, 13:09:59 My downloads folder (and only that folder) has suddenly decided not to show filenames in thumbnail view.
In tiles, detail, icons or list view it shows normally, but in tumbnail view, it just shows a tumbnail of the files/folder with no name or description: (http://pics.livejournal.com/gwillewyn/pic/0006f9gw) I've fiddled with every windows setting I can find, but nothing changes. Re-naming the folder restores it to normal, but then of course the game doesn't recognise it. It's not something I can't live with, but it's annoying as hell, and I really want to know why the hell this suddenly happened. Title: Re: Windows acting seriously weird...

If it doesn't then it may be that you have a corrupted user registry :-\

That did the trick! :DThat also probably explains how I managed to bork it up in the first place. I seem to remember it happening when I was trying to open a folder in a new window, which is accomplished by holding down shift and double clicking. I must have clicked somewhere I shouldn't while I had the shift key down. |
