Thumbnails are smaller/shrunken versions of file type icons in this case -
small graphical representation of file type for sighted guys so they don't
have to, for example, read the .doc extension of a word document file since they'll see a small picture/icon next to it that looks like a piece of white

paper, with a light blue capital letter W on it if I remember that one
correctly from old days.

Stay well

Hi,

there is a choice called display file ICON  on thumb nails and its off.

What does that mean and what are thum nails?
