Is there a way (command line switch) to open Windows Explorer and set the
view to Thumbnails?
Thanks,

Tim,
I doubt it. You might want to look at automating it, but your best bet
would probably be to send messages to explorer to change the view
(specifically, the listview in explorer).

Hi Nicholas,
>I doubt it. You might want to look at automating it, but your best bet

SendMessage is very powerfull, thats true, we can nearly do anything
with it, but does it work in this case. Did you check it? I am curious
about it,...

Kerem,
I didn't check it, which is why I said "probably". I'm leaving that as
an exercise to the OP. Specifically, I would look at the documentation for
the list view windows control, specifically, the windows message reference.

Thumbnails are stored in the Thumbs.db hidden file.
There my knowledge ends. I'm asuming that aplications...
