I have Vista ultimate.

Suppose I have a file by name of 1.jpg and another by name- 2.jpg
both are different images.

When I rename 2.jpg and overwrite it in place of 1.jpg,
the icon that appears in explorer is that of original 1.jpg

but when i double-click it, picasa opens showing 2.jpg, so that means
image has been overwritten successfully but the icon is not changed.

i tried to delete thumbs.db but that didn't worked.:shock:

Please help me!

I think that Vista and 7 have two (or more) thumbnail backups. Try to right Click > Refresh Thumbnail

when I right click there's no refresh thumbnail.

There must be some troubble. Or, you are not right clicking on the file, rather in the folder. Try to right click on the file itself.

Incorrect Thumbnail preview is displayed for image files?
