Problem regarding the adding my thumbnail image to file

Hi there,

I am having a issue regarding the thumbnail. I have created lots of file and folders in my computer which i am using on the regular basic but some of them i am accessing on the time interval because they are not that much important for me. I want to give my thumbnail image to the folder which i would like to create but the problem is that i don't know how to do that. So i am here to ask for the help from your side regarding the same.

Thank you

Hi,

As per your discussion concern above if i am not wrong then you are looking for the own thumbnail addition to the files or the folder. So i am giving you windows based method for adding own thumbnail to the same. Go to the windows file menu, there is already a thumbnail command exist which will open the thumbnail control window. Now look for the image which you have created in the window and add them to the file or the folder you want.

Thanks

You can create the image using the infanview and then add them to the thumbnail control window. After the entry of the image now use these simple step to use the same as thumbnail image for your folder or file.
  • Right click on the folder/file
  • Go to the properties
  • now hit the change icon
  • A window will open with list of icon
  • Choose the icon which you have created
  • And it done.
I hope this will help you.

Hey,

There is one more method which will help you for the creation of the image of your choice which is know as the IcoFx. With the help of this you can add these icon to the icon library and use them as you want to use them with the help of the same. I hope this one help you to solve your issue. If not then get back to me I'll suggest you some more to get rid of the same. Say thanks if you liked the idea.

Thanks

Here i am mentioning the step involving in the creation of the file that is posted above regarding the use of the IcoFxIt will create the .icl file which can be used to add them for your thumbnail icon.
  1. Click on the IcoFx to open it
  2. Now go to the tools
  3. Then the Resource Editor
  4. This will open a Resource file which is blank.
  5. Add your own icon
  6. and browse the file to add
  7. Browse the folder for the icons and select them
  8. Selected one will appear now
