Hi All:

I have Windows 7 Home Premium and there is no gpedit.msc for this version. How to I turn "on" the thumbnails in my version?

Thanks,

MS

Indeed, logicearth, sage advice.

Also, MissSherlock, be sure you have this box ticked on the task bar properties:

It's a great tool! :)

Hi logicearth, Mike and James:

Many thanks for the quick reply. Your suggestions worked perfectly and I have my thumbnails back.

James appreciate the link to Brink's "how-to".

Thanks so much,

MS:D:cool:

I'm afraid I can't take credit for that. Brink must have placed it there (hmm...and no edit notification...). He's everywhere!
