Notes:

IThumbnailCache is used with an instance of local thumbnail cache obtained by CoCreateInstance. To obtain it (C#):

Guid IID_IUnknown = new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046");
Guid CLSID_LocalThumbnailCache = new Guid("50EF4544-AC9F-4A8E-B21B-8A26180DB13F");

IntPtr cachePointer;
CoCreateInstance(CLSID_LocalThumbnailCache, IntPtr.Zero, CLSCTX.CLSCTX_INPROC, IID_IUnknown, out cachePointer);

IThumbnailCache thumbnailCache = (IThumbnailCache) Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(cachePointer);
