| | Windows XP style folders I really like Vista. It works well for my programs. My question is this: Is there any way to use XP style folders in Vista. I do machine embroidery and like to be able to see what designs are in what folders without having to open the folders to see them. I always liked the way that Windows XP displayed the thumbnails on the front of the folders making finding certain designs a cinch. Any suggestions out there? -- Judy in Sammamish WA USA |

| | RE: Windows XP style folders It's not exactly the same but right click the folder and select properties, then the customize tab. Then under folder pictures, choose file. I think it will provide what you want. -- Paul "JudyK" wrote: Quote: > I really like Vista. It works well for my programs. My question is this: > Is there any way to use XP style folders in Vista.

| | RE: Windows XP style folders Unfortunately, that won't work because these embroidery files are in embroidery formats (i.e. PES, HUS, VIP; not image formats (i.e. JPEG, BMP, GIF). It used to work beautifully in XP but not in Vista. Any other ideas would be appreciated. -- Judy in Sammamish WA USA "PaulB" wrote: Quote: > It's not exactly the same but right click the folder and select properties, > then the customize tab.
