If I open any map, there are no small displays anymore to see for example the
photo. I only see the standard pictograph that is used by windows for for
example a photo or movie. So in my map pictures I don't see the pictures
anymore, but only the same pictograph over and over... I have to open the
picture or start windows photogallery to see what is in the picture... How
can I change this setting??? I didn't change anything in the first place!

I'm sorry to have to say, but I suddenly find myself with a similar problem.
I've had my new PC for about a week now without any problems, but today when
I right-clicked on my desktop to change the wallpaper, instead of seeing
small images of all the wallpapers available, all I now see is a generic
image. This is very annoying. Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?

If you check the View settings for that folder, are you in Thumbnail view
still?

Hello

I solved the problem and it was as you suspected, I had turned off thumbnail
view. After discovering this (shortly after posting this message), I reset it
back to its original setting and everything was fine. That's one of the
frustrating things about computers; changing one little setting and then
forgetting that you've done it, can cause a lot of problems.

Thanks your help anyway. Much appreciated.
