    Thumbnail previews for image files
    « on: April 26, 2009, 04:42:54 PM »
    In windows, while browsing in "my computer", how can i see a preview image for each .jpg or .gif file instead of the generic jpeg or gif icon?

    Look for VIEW along the upper tool bar and change between settings.

      Right, but how do I make a preview of the actual image appear, instead of just a generic JPEG logo

        Right click in the explorer window where your files and a menu will appear.
        Select View
        Select Thumbnails

        That should do it.
