Windows Questions and Answers - Thumbnail View Not Working

Rich writes in with a Windows question:
Question: I cannot see my thumbnail pictures view in my folders. I recently uninstalled Mozilla, when the ability to view thumbnails went away. How can I get the view back in my folder, to view the thumbnails instead of an icon?

Answer: When you open Windows Explorer or My Computer and navigate to your pictures folder you can go to the View menu and pick Thumbnails to have the thumbnail images shown. This will change the view for the currently opened folder only.

To keep that view as the default for all folders, after changing it to thumbnails go to the Tools menu and pick Folder Options. Then go to the View tab and click on Apply to All Folders and click Ok.
