Vista - animated thumbnails gif as in windows xp

I want to view the animated thumbails of animated gif in windows folder as it
is in windows xp. It's doesn't possibile that you have removed this function!
It is too inconvenient to open windows internet explorer each time!
I hope you add this function with a next new update, even though I doubt you
listen me.....

Windows XP did not have animated file thumbnails. You might have installed a
plugin in XP to enable that.

I'm sorry, you are right but it is a great idea the animated thumbnails;
whatever with the viewer of picture and fax it was easier view the animated
gif than now.
Do you know a plugin to enable animated file thumbnails for vista as you had
said?

I actually didn’t know there was a tool that enables animated thumbnails. I
did a quick search on Google, but did not find anything.

Can you install the same plugin as you did in XP? (Although I’m not sure if
it works in Vista)

If you only want it so you can quickly play animated GIF files, you could
try Irfanview. That’s a picture viewer like the viewer in Windows. It’s a bit
less user friendly, but can handle a lot more file types, and can play
animated GIF files.

I didn't install plugin in xp, I remembered badly.
I don't like The Irfanview and it doesn't work correctly with some gif.
If microsoft add the thumbnails in windows it would be a great thing!
Microsoft pleaseee

Seconded.

I also think microsoft should do something about it. Lots of people would
agree.

It just seems completely ridiculous to me than in XP Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer allowed users to flick through their pictures quickly and easily, and
view any animated gifs as they were meant to be, yet a later version of the
same program won't let you do the same. I know it is just as simple to open
IE to view the files, but I don't want to open each file individually. I want
to be able to flick between each one in the same program.
It's so stupid.

As you noted by the lack of functionality, it's not the "same" program - it
was a rewrite and unfortunately this particular feature didn't make the
initial cut during that rewrite. That team is very aware of your concerns -
they simply didn't have infinite resources at the time and so had to make
some tough calls. =\

Windows Photo Gallery (version corresponding to Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer in XP) allows you to open any pictures (except gifs), also videos; but
to open animated gifs with IE isn't very simple, it is very frustrating.
