Vista - Vista will not show jpeg thumbnails, Help!!

Here is another site that offers a few registry tips for folder options.
Windows Explorer Folder View settings

OMG!! My thumbnails are back

I dont know what exactly what I did (I did a whole bunch of stuff lol)

it was probably the regedit method that was just mentioned


thanks guys!!!!!!!

Good for you!!

This actually isn't that hard of a fix - here is what I stumbled across
after wracking my brains for 2 days over this problem.
- Go into Start > Pictures
- Click the "Organize" Dropdown and click "Folder and Search Options"
- Under the "General" tab click "Show Previews and Filters"
- Under the "View" tab, make sure "Always show icons, never
thumbnails" is UNCHECKED. I also CHECKED "Display file icon on
thumbnails", for non-image files.
- Click "Apply" then "OK".Hope this helps, cos I was going nuts over this for days and I really
didn't want to hack into my registry just to fix what seemed like a
simple problem.

If anyone is still having trouble after reading this, please let me
know and I will either add screencaps or do a Captivate of the process.
I was facepalming myself once I discovered how simple it was =p

This look like it it dealing with my issue - Thanks for the CLARITY!!! of
your instructions - but it is not fixing "completley" what I would like to do
-

GET BACK to the XP "FLAT - HORIZONTAL File Icon Display that SHOWED by
default a selection of up to 4 images on the "face" of the File Folder Icon -
or a particular Image file could be selected (under Properties) to be
displayed on the "full face" of the File Folder Icon.

(After going thru your steps - I believe I have already been doing this -
which is not what is needed - GET BACK TO THE XP View!!)

Editorial Commentary - which I hope could be delivered to or monitored by MS
- I only rarely get into these community help areas & Don't know how to use
them well.

Whoever forgot the Fundamentals of Communication - CLARITY! when they
decided to display their Graphic Design Talents with this "Half Open Vertical
File Icon with a few "Half viewable" images that can only be "half ID'd"!!!!
GRRRR!!! Don't FIX Something that was working PERFECTLY in XP!!

Thanks for any further help you can offer - Hope this is Fixable and not the
"New and Improved View" - not allowing us to go back to the view that was
availabe in XP!!

I see that other commentaries posted also think that this is awful and
creates a look more work or time consumption - if I am interpreting their
comments correctly in dealing with what I think is the same issue that I'm
presenting here.
