Windows Explorer Tips

THUMBNAIL VIEW

Windows ME will allow you to display "thumbnails" of graphic images in formats like .bmp, .gif, and .jpg. All you have to do is click on the View menu and select the Thumbnails option. In Windows 95 (with the Desktop Update of Internet Explorer 4 installed), and in Windows 98 this is possible, too, but the process is a bit more involved. You begin by right clicking the folder icon for the folder you want to enable thumbnails on, and choosing Properties from the context menu that scrolls up. Next you select the General tab, put a check mark next to Enable Thumbnail view and click the OK button. Now when you open up that folder you will see that the Thumbnails option has been added to the View menu.
