Windows 7 Image Thumbnails Revert
I altered some pictures using Windows Live Photo Gallery. The thumbnails in Explorer showed up fine. I used Disk Cleanup, which reset the thumbnails, but strangely to the original image (see image1 and the highlighted pic) - as you will see, the highlighted pic is colour, but the small preview shows it as it should be in the bottom left of the window, as a black and white image.
Now look at image 2 - the only change is that I viewed in Extra Large icons, instead of just large, notice how the preview has corrected itself to it's black and white state?
Image 3 shows going back to Large Icons and how it stays black and white... until you close the window and go back to it again, and it is once again as image 1.
Very annoying if you have altered the original beyond recognition and now cannot find it because the thumbnail no longer reflects changes made.
I have cleared Thumbnails again and again in disk cleanup, turned off system restore and cleared that out, uninstalled Windows Live Photo Gallery, restarted the machine, used CCleaner to do all the same things, etc etc... cannot find an answer as to where it is getting the original image from? And why it is using it? And how to stop it!!!???
