 * Icons change to little picture preview **

You can change the icons to the little picture preview (thumbnails) and back again if you want to.

Here’s how:-

Go to :- Start button and left-click. When your Start menu pops up, at the very top of the right side you will see an icon preview and below it, your user name. Below that is Documents. Left-click on it.

After you left-click on your Documents, go up to the top left of your folder to **Organize** (it is under the Menu bar – File, Edit, etc.). Left-click on the little upside-down triangle to the right of that. A list of options will drop down; go down the list until you find **Folder and Search Options** (It is right under Layout). Left-click on that.

After you click on **Folder and Search Options**, a (dialog) box will pop up with three tabs:- General, View, and Search. Left-click on **View**. Under **View** (in the middle), the first thing you will see is **Folder Views**. Under that, there is a white box with a bunch of settings (labelled **Advanced Settings**) that you can change so that you can customize your computer. The very first setting in this box is the one you need, which is **Always show icons, never thumbnails**. Uncheck/tick this box.

Left-click on **Apply**, and then left-click on **OK**. Now you can see your pictures!

. When Windows pulls up a thumbnail, it draws on more resources than it does when it pulls up an icon. Windows has to work a little harder with thumbnails.

If you do not like it put a tick/check in the box where it says “Always show icons, never thumbnails”.
