Open up Pictures folder
Click 'organize'
click 'folder and search options'
click 'view' tab
uncheck 'always show icons, never thumbnails'

this should do the trick

So, i got lots of avi's and other video formats and lots of pics i took over
summer. In XP, when u open a folder, u would see a thumb preview of the file.
In vista, its just an icon, for movies it is a icon that says avi, wmv
etc.... For pics, its just says jpg or gif.

Is tehre any way to make it back the other wya so i can see the thumb or did
microsoft just remove that option
