Default Picture Icons

I have a problem with viewing my pictures. All of my picture icons were
changed to standard-generic icons when I had my computer restored to the
factory direct setting. Now they don't display anything except a flower,
house, ect.

My question is:

How do I change the picture icon setting back so I can see a tiny
preview thingy for each icon, instead of having to click on each one to see
what they really are?

If you think you can help, drop me
a line, Thank-You

Hi TriforceOtaku,

This will show you how to turn the thumbnail previews back on in
Windows Explorer.

In the "Views" drop-down in the Task pane, select one of the following
views:

Medium Icons
Large Icons
Extra Large Icons

If thumbnail previews are still not generated, then open Folder Options
applet via Control Panel or from Start ("control folders"). In the View
tab of Folder Options applet, uncheck the following option:

"Always show icons, never thumbnails"

Click OK.

Hope this helps, it helped me
