    DCIM thumbnails will not change


    When I shoot a video and then transfer the memory card to my pc, running windows 7, the video is titled
    DCIM and creates a thumbnail taken from one of the first frames. example ..a dog....If I shoot another video
    the second video thumbnail changes accordingly..example ..video of a cat.....When I erase the card or format the card, and then shoot another video..example ..a bird...then the thumbnail shows up as the same
    dog.....Windows has stored the first video thumbnail some where and is using it when it shouldn't be..Every time you boot the computer and shoot a fresh video and inset a new card you see the same dog thumbnail..

    Does anyone know where windows stores these thumbnails and how to fix this problem?
    Let me add..If I use windows media player as the player then properties says it is a windows media player file..If I use GOM player..then it is a GOM. media player file..
