Icons - SW2006

Oct 23, 2005 1 Replies

I have been able to activate SW icons in all explorer locations as thumbnails in XP but not in my new install of SW2006. When I hit OPEN to select a file all I get is a yellow group of blocks. The right side will show a thumbnail but not next to the file name itself. Odd. It was OK in



2005. Not a biggie but I did rely on them to some degree. Any ideas ? TIA.


There was a change somewhere in SolidWorks. Setting explorer to thumbnails still works, but detail mode does not. This option is the "Show Thumbnail In Windows Explorer" in system options.
