Incorrect thumbnail photos for video clips

[History Fan]

My PC: desktop running Windows XP Home SP2, fully updated. I use WMP
11, RealPlayer 10.5, and QuickTime 7.3.

I have several videos saved on my computer, in one folder. They are in
..wmv, .flv, MPEG or QuickTime format.

For this folder, I have 'Thumbnails' selected in the View option. Just
today, I noticed the thumbnail photos for half of them are incorrect. They
are mixed up. I launched several of these videos just to check, and the
titles are correct.

Very strange glitch. Any ideas how to correct this? I tried
View/Refresh, but that didn't help.

I did a Google search on this problem, and found some ideas. I
right-clicked on the videos with the incorrect thumbnail photo, and selected
'Refresh Thumbnail.' This forced the video to display the correct image.

I've since rebooted the PC and the thumbnail photos are still
accurate......so far. Still curious as to what could have caused this
glitch.
