    Windows explorer thumbnails


    When I used windows explorer with XP I could view images as thumbnails
    rather than as icons, with Vista I can only get thumbnails by using Windows
    Photo gallery ~ is there a way to do it with windows explorer ?

    windows explorer can show thumbnails

    go to control panel > system
    then on the left it has a link that says advance system settings

    on the advanced tab under performance press the settings button

    there you will see a list of options. One of them is View thumbnails instead
    of Icons

    hope this helps

    Hi John,

    You can open Folder Options, and in the "View" tab Uncheck "Always show icons, never thumbnails" to see them.
