Can someone do me a favor.......I have attached a b/w photo I did some years ago at Chaco Canyon.....
I have attached the file and it shows up on my computers as just a general icon not as a thumbnail....
Can one of you download it to your computer and tell me if it shows up as an icon or a thumbnail......

XxXxX.......Irfan thumbnail very quickly shows me a thumbnail of my good files.......and gives me a "0" on the corrupted files....
So here I can quickly determine which files I can delete........but the folders I've looked at so far suggest I may have lost more than half of my photos......
Starting to re-think going to a commercial data recovery service......
Can anyone recommend a good data recovery service......possibly one of you has used one in the past....
Thanks....

I GOT IT....I GOT IT....I GOT IT.....
THUMBNAILS ARE NOW SHOWING....AND IT WAS STUPIDLY SIMPLE.....!!!
Go into pictures > Options > UNCHECK always show icons not thumbnails.....
I looked at this early on but it just did not register with my gray matter.......
WOW......I feel really stupid.....
Again....many...many...many thanks for all your input and sticking with me.....
Now I'm looking for a solution to see if I can fix corrupted picture files......And Irfan Thumbnails is showing me
very quickly which images are corrupted........now if I can fix them....everything will be good......

Thanks Winuser.......so far today I've tried about a dozen websites and apps that say they fix corrupted jpeg's.........so far none of them have worked.....
I did read that when deleting a jpeg it sometimes deletes info in the meta data and / or leader and perhaps that is the source of my problems.....
At this point I'm gonna start deleting the corrupted files.....see what I end up with.....

Well.....I sent in 5 corrupted jpg's to an outfit that says they can uncorrupt anything.....(right":))
I chose from different locations and dates so these 5 corrupted files are unrelated...
They reported back today that they are too corrupted to fix.....
So.......Deleting now.....this hurts...!!!
Thanks again to everyone....
