Thumbnails as a view

Whether you have a folder containing your photographs or use My Pictures in My Documents viewing them in order to select what you want is important.

That is why you have the facility to select Thumbnails which illustrates a tiny version of the picture

Now selecting Thumbnail can be done in two ways.

Let us say for example we have opened My Pictures.

We can go to the top toolbar and click View.

This opens a drop down widow, and if you scroll down you will see an item

“ Thumbnails “

Well click it and all the pictures are illustrated in the larger window.

The other way is to look along the second line which displays icons and usually the last one on the right is a blue square with six coloured dots in it and a tiny down arrow on it’s right-hand.

Click the little arrow and that gives you a similar list including Thumbnails

However, you may be one of those unfortunate people who do not have an option for Thumbnail View on your View menu, or icon

Fear not there could still be a way if you have Internet Explorer 5.0 or better installed,

You need to Right-click the folder you want to enable Thumbnail View for

Then select Properties.

A widow will open and almost at the bottom there should be a check box which that says " Enable Thumbnail View ."

Click it and press/click OK.

Now when you open the folder and click the View menu, Thumbnails should be able to be selected
