Problem Showing Windows 7 Thumbnails

are you new to windows 7?

in windows xp, you can preview your pictures in your folders by choosing thumbnails, but now in windows 7 all you see is the default picture of a mountain and a lake and some clouds.

also when i try to preview a .gif files is shows an image of like triangles a ball and a square:


ok, so how do you make it so that it will show all my pics and photos so i can tell which one is which.

ok, i will show you how.

first got to Tool, then select Folder Options, in the folder options be sure to UNSELECT: Always show icons, never thumbnails.


click Apply, then OK.

Now you should be able to see and look at your pictures
