Re: Icons with photos in them

You should be able to eliminate the need
to choose Thumbnails everytime you open
a folder if you select the View you wish and
go to...Tools / Folder Options / View tab /
Apply To All Folders button / Yes / OK.

If you download and install TweakUI from
the following site...you can adjust the size
and quality of your thumbnails.

Windows XP PowerToys / free download
http://tinyurl.com/36n
(download the one that says:
TweakUI.exe 147 KB)

Once you have TweakUI installed, open
it and go to...Explorer / Thumbnails...
Drag the slider to adjust the quality and
enter a number to adjust the pixel size
of your thumbs.

Yves,

That's what I tried to show her and she was not happy doing it that way. The
thumbnails are too big for her to do anything with especially since her hands
are not too steady. Also she prfers to avoid extra steps and drag the picture
to her various folders.

Are you suggesting that in XP one can't do this as you apparantly can in ME?
If not, can you suggest a simple program that I can have installed that would
do the trick.

Thanks,
Marc

Instead of using the Icon view, just change this to the Thumbnails view and
then she can just select the thumbnails and move them to other folders.
As it is in XP, the icon view gives you the icon of the software in which
the picture will open if you double click on it.
