Problem regarding the adding my thumbnail image to file

**reetus** · 14-12-2009

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

Hello,

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
