Just a wild guess that you might have a corrupted thumbs.db ADS file. this is what handles your thumbnail views in explorer. It could also be holding a picture file open. A reboot will/should clear it. You need special utilities to see these files. Adaware may have an option to check thesetype of nfts files Gary Kjos wrote: >Hi Erwin. > >I find it bizare too.
