The thumbnails in one of my Vista folders are corrupted. How do I fix this in Vista, in XP it was simple.

In Windows XP, deleting the folder's Thumbs.db file would force Windows to regenerate the thumbnails the next time you opened the folder. Vista does not use Thumbs.db files, but you can use the Disk Cleanup utility to delete thumbnails. Click the Windows orb, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and Disk Cleanup. Scroll down and click to select thumbnails, and then click OK. The Next time you open up the folder in question, Vista will regenerate the thumbnails.
