    Hello,

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate and when I'm in 'My Pictures' folder and have the setting on large icon, it seems to just show what type of file the picture is rather then the actual picture in the icon. I just did a switch from Windows XP to Vista so I don't know if there's a function I need to turn on to do this?

    I have hundreds of photos and I don't want to open each one of them up to find out exactly what photo it is.

    Sorry to hijack your thread (please, pretty please forgive me):cry:. Anyway, when viewing a folder, how do you get the horizontal display on the bottom.
