Displaying thumbnails
How do I get Vista to display thumbnails of photo images? Ap present
everywhere in the computer all thumbnails show an icon of the opening program rather than an actual thumbnail. This makes finding the right photo among thousands an absolute nightmare. Changing the opening program just swaps all the thumbnails to the nw icon. |

VIEWS doesn't work for you? Perhaps they all need to be in the Pictures
folder . . . no, I still see thumbnails elsewhere "Spirefm" wrote in message ... How do I get Vista to display thumbnails of photo images?

No 'Views' doesn't do what I'd expect - it changes the icon size or between
List etc but there are no real thumbnails "Bill Condie" wrote: VIEWS doesn't work for you?

Views just changes the icon sizes or organise lists etc. No real thumbnails
are displayed anywhere "Bill Condie" wrote: VIEWS doesn't work for you? Perhaps they all need to be in the Pictures folder . . . no, I still see thumbnails elsewhere "Spirefm" wrote in message ...

You have to change a setting in Folder and Search Options. Click the
Organize button in any folder and choose Folder and Search Options. Or click Start, type fol and click Folder Options. Then click the View tab in the dialog box. Clear the checkbox next to "Always show icons, never thumbnails" and click OK. "Spirefm" wrote in message ... How do I get Vista to display thumbnails of photo images?

Thanks, Alan. I was having the same problem after upgrade from XP Pro to
Windows Vista Business. I thought I was missing a utility. Now if I can just find an answer to my Photoshop CS2 problem... Have a good one. -- Bill "Alan Simpson" wrote: You have to change a setting in Folder and Search Options. Click the Organize button in any folder and choose Folder and Search Options.
