File Preview

Post by jimandi5000 »

Hi all,

On one PC I get a file preview icon and this PC I do not. What is the function to tell Windows to display the File Icon as a preview image?
Thanks,
Jim

In File Explorer do you have the View set to Extra Large, Large or Medium?

Nope, That is not it... I know there is a tool in VCarve to turn this on... I just can't recall it.
Thanks,
Jim

In the Program Files, in the VCarve/Aspire folder, run the VectricShellExtSetup.exe file.

And restart your PC.
Thanks,
Jim

The linked thread did say that running the VectricShellExtSetup file normally fixes it.

I was wrong... it did not fix it.
Thanks,
