display filenames in thumbnail view

P

Paul

I have a folder that is in thumbnail view but it is not
displaying the file or folder names (under each
thumbnail). It is only for one folder. How did this get
turned off? How can I turn it back on?

thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
This is a feature of Windows XP. To get the file names to display in
thumbnails view, revert to any other view and then holding the shift key
down, click on View>Thumbnails. It will get the thumbnails back.
