Re: Icons with photos in them

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
