pat71896 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I love Paintdotnet and have recommended it so many times. I just got my Windows 7 it is 64 bit and happy until I cannot see my photos on the icons. It is associated to .jpg as usual. Works to open in paintdotnet, but the icon does not show what is inside the file. I really need to see the icon pict of the photo. Can anyone help? I did turn off my UserAccount and completed the association. . Pat Thanks to all who help the needy - - - Edited July 27, 2011 by pat71896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Try changing the View to "Medium Icons" in your file explorer. Note: this is a Windows setting and is not related to paint.net.

pat71896 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I could not find anything like "file explorer" anywhere. I looked in Windows. Since I am unfamiliar with windows 7, that is my problem. I am excited to get this fixed when someone can tell me about file explorer. Thank you so much, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat71896 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I did go into the 'view' (right click) file area and changed to medium, but no help. Perhaps it is a different adjustment. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Is it all image files? Or just some files?

pat71896 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) It is all image files (non-video). I am so stumped and need to be defragged mentally. I really did not think this would be difficult to fix but it is. I did notice that when I right click on some of the files, they are still associated with Windows Photo Viewer. When I try to change that association, I get a "Winodws Shell Common DLL has stopped working." (I just saw this a few minutes ago.) The association is correct in the Control Panel.

pat71896 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Geeze, I went back to check the Conrol Panel File Association and it was showing Windows Photo Viewer. When I went to change that to Paint.net the Windows Explorer stops working. Now what? Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 You need to take your questions to a Windows support forum.

pat71896 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I hope that works! I bought this Windows 7 to get rid of these problems. I guess I was fooling myself. When it comes to Windows, there are few and far between solutions. Thanks for trying everyone. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
