Rollback possible?

mistergom opened this issue · comments

Hello!
Is-it possible to rollback? With recursive effect?
I think that Windows Thumbnail Generator creates a desktop.ini file in each folder + 1 ico image file.
Best!

Hi, If you want to delete all the folder thumbnails that are generated by WindowsThumbnailGenerator
you have to:

  1. Go to folder otions in windows explorer and tick show hidden files and folders and also untick the hide protected operating system files (see screenshot)
  2. Search in the folders or root folder that you want the thumbnails to be removed for: desktop.ini and delete all of them
  3. Search again at the same folders for: thumb.ico and delete all of them
    Then your folders - root folder with all the other folders inside will have the default icon again

Thanks! Sounds good and works well ;)

Will add this feature at next major release.
