When I first got my computer image files were associated with Internet Explorer, also when you highlighted them, a thumbnail image would appear in the lower left of the window. I recently chaged the viewer to a different program but have also lost the thumbnail views. Does anyone know how to fix this?
To enable Thumbnail view for a folder in Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
If you have not already done so, install the Windows Desktop Update component. For information about how to do so, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q165/6/95.ASP
Right-click the folder for which you want to enable Thumbnail view, and then click Properties.
Click the Enable Thumbnail View check box to select it, and then click OK.
To view the contents of a folder using Thumbnail view, open the folder for which Thumbnail view is enabled, and then click Thumbnails on the View menu. The image files in the folder are displayed as miniature versions of the actual images in the right pane. The following are some of the file types that can be displayed using Thumbnail view:
BMP (Windows Bitmap files)
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format files)
JPG, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group files)
HTM, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language files)
Other file types may be displayed using Thumbnail view. Files that cannot be displayed using Thumbnail view are displayed using their default icons.
That’ll be $49.95.
I want a refund then. This is not what I was looking for. I was looking for a thumbnail at the left of the window, not the whole icon becoming an thumbnail. So with what I had you only looked at one .HTML, .BMP, .JPG, or .GIF at a time.
Open up the folder you’re interested in. Click ‘view’. Click ‘as Web Page’. Now when you choose any graphic, it’ll show the graphic on the left side.
That’ll be $59.95.
