Pdf File View in Windows / File Explorer NOT

Hi,

After cleaning out the thumbnail cache, I went to restore and found an old enough restore point. The MS powers that be were on my side today as Restore actually worked this time (1st time on this machine).

Now to work on the thumbnail generation of the vp3 files. I’ll tackle that one Monday.
