I am a rusty when it comes to Windows XP, But I remember fixing this problem along time ago with Disk Cleanup by clearing the thumbnail cache. To get to Disk Cleanup, Click Start and find or search "Run". Once you see a box enter, “cleanmgr” without quotes and press enter. Once you're there select the system drive letter from the drop-down, then uncheck all the entries, except Thumbnail. Afterwards Click OK, and click Delete Files to confirm.

(Edit: Not to be rude, but please next time post this in the Window XP board.)

Not to be rude but he's asking how it's done in Win 10 therefore he posted properly...

Yes. Theimage is from XP.
In Widows 10 I can make the folder big, huge or tiney.
But no thumbnails. I need them a lot.
I find it easier to read comic books and not school books.
For me, XP is like a comic book. Lots of little images.
I want to learn Windows 10, but it is hard without pictures.

Sorry, I didn't quite understand what he was saying. Thanks for saying that or I would have been confused.  ;)

Patio, thank you.
That limnk has a nice tutorial about thevewoptions in Windows 10 fileexplorer. The default is to not have thumbnails. You have to find it and set itto thumbnails.
