 Photoshop, XP Views in My Documents | |
BTW, the thumbnail database file is called thumbs.db. It can get
corrupted when you have Photoshop and Windows Explorer doing
things to the same folder at the same time. I find I can generally
avoid this and worse problems (like a corrupted file system) if I
never have an Explorer window open on the same folder where
I'm using Photoshop. And Photoshop and Windows Explorer
crash less often if I use the Photoshop file browser to open files
instead of Files->Open.
