How can I turn on the preview/thumbnails when viewing pictures in explorer. This is driving me crazy....

And I do not mean the preview pane. I'm talking about seeing all of the files as thumbnails while browsing the Pictures directory.... Unless you know the name of the picture you are screwed...

Jeffrey, If you go to the folder in question and follow these steps do you get your thumbnails: 1) Select Organize --> Folder and Search Options --> View --> Advanced Settings: Uncheck Always show icons, never thumbnails. 2) Change the view to Tiles, Medium Icons, Large Icons or Extra Large Icons. You should now see thumbnails. By default thumbnails are disabled in Server and this setting allows you to get a client type experience. Thanks, -Steve

Cheers Steve, I installed 2k8 today, and was stumped on the thumbnails too - until I saw your post. Trev
