And is everyone's also set to 8?

Further....within autocad:   To change the file icon to a thumbnail preview, click the drop-down list at the top of the Recent Documents or Open Documents lists and choose small icons, large icons, small images, or large images.

Makes no sense to me but there thumbsize is set to 3.

Set mine to 3. Opened, zoomed to extents, saved. So far no difference.

This would fix your problem

That falls back to the UPDATETHUMBNAIL setting and function....so they may not all automaniacally 'fix' themselves

I have been using details and the pre-view pain with extra large icons.

Already set on Extra Large Icons...I wonder if it has to do with too much detail...

Wait a minute...this one came up different...

[mjfarrell]

he was suggesting setting the folder view(s) to DETAILS and NOT  use the image file or preview 'feature' at all....mostly as a joke I'm sure

Yeah, I figured that out a bit late and modified my post.

Well, looks like I have something to chase in my spare time. <very fizzled out yay>

I still haven't figured this out. My co-worker insists it's a setting I toggled somewhere and wants my "small" drawings to look like his "big" drawings. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
