July 21, 2005 10:00 AM from

Hi! Does anybody know a way to display icons of pictures as a thumbnail preview on the desktop? Is there a tool or a reg. patch? I wonder if this is possible... would be nice he??! Regards Bibojigar

IconX does that?

I thought it was DesktopX. I thought it automatically made a shorcut widget with a thumbnail. Lern sumpin evra day.

I'm not talking about shortcuts or widgets, but icons for the actual pictures.

IconX used to be part of DesktopX, so maybe that's what you were thinking.

I think I've come across a little utility that let you set the icon view on the desktop in same manners as in explorer. Perhaps it would let you choose thumbnailview. But I can't rememeber what it was right now. I'll see if it's burried in my bookmarks somewhere. Might be I found it at Virtual Plastic.
