    You know how you put files into folder in Windows? Sure you do, you're a brunch of bright subjects... and you know, furthermore, how you can customize a folder, to display a particular picture on the folder, say, to display the contents? Again, sure... right-click, customize, and then you select whatever picture you want. NOW, can YOU tell me WHY this simple feature stopped working one day for Darunia? Right click/properties/customize/choose file (to display as a thumbnail)/open/apply/okay... and nothing changes...

    ...FURTHERMORE...

    A whole slew of other folders THAT I NEVER ATTEMPTED TO MODIFY are displaying a bunch of thumbnails I NEVER WANTED TO DISPLAY, seemingly at random.

    Virus?

    Act of God?

    You decide.

    Folders in Windows automatically set up thumbnails under windows based on the contents. That's by design, and helps you to identify the contents at a glance. You can disable this feature in folder options however.

    You seem to have over-estimated my stupidity here. I know it assigns thumbs. I'm telling you that it is randomly assigning thumbs, from different folders, that having nothing to do with it. For example, thumbs out of, say, my porn folder, wind up showcasing My Documents. They're assigning themselves, and cannot be changed. To further emphasize, I CANNOT change the icons, and they assign themselves, randomly, from somewhere on the hard drive.
