IWin XP Explorer had View>'Thumbnails' - it doesn't exist in Vista?????????????

In Win XP explorer we had View>Thumbnails - it doesn't exist in
Vista???????????????????????????????

I found this useful for viewing html files ('favorites' folder) where
instead of looking at a load of blue 'e's i could choose 'thumbnail' and
they all showed up as minature web pages - quite a few didn't beleive me
that this actually worked last time i mentioned it (few years back) but give
it a try and you'll be impressed - if you have a lot of links it takes a
while to refresh them the first time

Of course this also worked for many files types (pictures, videos, html)

XP gave us a choice of Large Icons, Small Icons or Thumbnails - Vista just
gives us a choice of which size 'e' which is not nearly as good

Occasionally XP lost the ability to view thumbnails and one of the MVP wrote
a script to refresh it - hope he's listening and maybe rustle up a quick
thumbnail fix for Vista
