Re: Vista Network JPG Thumbnail issue
Why isn’t it feasible to reset the archive attribute? From an admin cmd session, could run attrib -a *.whatever on all files in fell
swoops? Couldn’t it also be a matter of resetting the folder option that says to not generate thumbnails on one computer (which
could be set on one but unset on another)? Or, a group policy or security setting that prohibits the data exchange of that across a
network, since it would be more or less universally viewable?
