I have a file with a large group of icons and cursours which are important in 
my work.

I use windows 95 with a traditional set up and no fancy word processors.

Until recently I could open explorer and open C:\cursors and along with each 
file listing I could see a tiny image of what each icon ie .ico,.cur, or .ani 
file would look like.

For reasons that are unclear I have lost these tiny thumbnail associations. 
How can I return these guide images? to my explorer file.


Thanks in advance

Jon

Hi John,

open regedit, search for "icofile" (without quotation marks), go to
subkey DefaultIcon (or create it if it doesn't exist), change value
(Standard) from whatever it is to "%1".

Hope this helps.

Greetings Ingo

	Uhh...It seems like none of the newsgroups the original
poster sent his message to is appropriate.  I'm redirecting followups
to comp.os.ms-windows.misc.
