Icons Do Not Show a Thumbnail of my Photographs
I have a lot of photographs on my Vista computer. When I try to find a
photograph ina folder the icon does not show me what the photograph looks like. It is just a generic mountain and lake scene for every picture. How can I turn on the actual picture to be depicted in the icon of the file? Thank you for your help. Brian Maskell |

ToolsFolder Options. On the View tab uncheck Always show icons, never
thumbnails. ------- *Report back, please* "Brian Maskell" Brian wrote in message ... I have a lot of photographs on my Vista computer.

Only I have no tools or options showing. It's very strange. My menu choices are organize, view, explore, slide show, email, share, and burn. This is when I have the folders set to propertiescustomize folder type template pictures and videos. I've tried right clicking on the folder an don the menu area and can not get tools anywhere. Can someone please explain further? -- TeresaJill Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

The Menu bar is hidden by default. Hold the ALT key and press T to access
the "Tools" menu. -- Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog Windows® Troubleshooting: http://www.winhelponline.com "TeresaJill" wrote in message ...

Thank you all - it should show them by default - it was driving me mad as well.
