Hello Friends,
I have Acer laptop & have Windows 7 ultimate installed on it. I have save some some PDF files on my desktop. However, instead of Adobe acrobat icon, there is a thumbnail image of the PDF file appearing on the desktop. The same is the case with MS Word & MS Excel files. However I want to know that how
should I get the program icon instead of thumbnail image there. Also again if I want the thumbnail image what should I do.

Hello Everybody,
Hello Nilank, I tried your suggestion and it works. So really thanks for that. However that will work universally and not individually. What will you suggest if I want some documents to be displayed as thumbnail images while other as program icons in a given location.
