  1. File icons


    I am using Windows 10. I am a birder and take many, many photos. Not sure what I did but instead of seeing the images on the screen when reviewing the folders I see a generic image (like two blue peaks). How can go back to seeing the photos instead of this.

    :)

  3. Custom File Icons?


    I've got a program that creates various file types; some of these are associated with the program and display its icon. Is it possible to keep the file association, but change the icons for some of the associated types so they stand out in a listing?

    If so, then ideally I'd like to extract the icon from the exe, make three slightly different versions, and make these display (at all scales) for the three main file types. Any suggestions for tools to do this? I have Photoshop CS5.
