    Where have my pics gone?


    Ah ... the joys of following all the tutorials herein (and I highly recommment them too!)
    Somewhere I've changed a setting and now
    instead of seeing thumbnails of my pictures when I go to the folder
    I see all pictures with the same generic icon
    whereas before I saw thumbnails of each pic.

    What do I have to do to get my view back?

    p.s. I'm not meaning the options of Icons, List, Details etc

    right click my computer >> properties>> in left pan click advanced system settings >> advanced tab >>
    in performance click settings >> check "show thumbnails instead of icons" that should work.

    Hope this helps

    Have a look at this: Folder Options - Vista Forums and follow the instructions in STEP TWO.

    You need to ensure that the option Always show icons, never thumbnails is unchecked, as shown.
