Hi all! I have a question:


Is it possible to change the thumbnail/icon used for a wmv file? From what I have seen, windows chooses one on default, and for what I am trying to do, I need to have a certain part of the video set as the preview image. If there is a way to modify it, what is it?

Could you not make a shortcut to the file and change the icon of the shortcut? If it is a disc based presentation you could hide the movie in a file and have the shortcut in the root directory.
