To see Thumbnails in the left hand pane, you need to have Common Tasks
activated.
You also need to have the folder template set for Pictures or Photo Album.
You may have to click the Folders icon on the Toolbar to switch from Folders
view to show Common Tasks in the left hand pane.
[[You can display hyperlinks to common tasks in the left pane of your folder
windows. The links provide quick access to file and folder management
activities and other places on your computer, such as My Computer, Shared
Documents, and My Network Places. Windows displays these links by default,
so they may already be displayed in your folders. If they are not, you can
use Folder Options to enable this feature.]]
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
General tab | Select: Show common tasks in folders |
Click Apply | Click OK
Show common tasks in folders
[[Specifies that hyperlinks to common folder tasks and other places on your
computer are displayed in folders. These links appear in the left pane of
the folder window.]]
View | Customize This Folder | Select Pictures or Photo Album |
Click Apply | Click OK
Or..
Right click the folder | Properties | Customize tab |
Set to Pictures or Photo Album under what kind of folder do you want? |
Click Apply | Click OK
Use this folder type as a template:
[[Allows you to select a folder template. Folder templates apply specific
features to your folder, such as specialized task links and viewing options
for working with pictures and music.]]
Also apply this template to all subfolders
[[Specifies that the template you select for your folder is applied to all
of its subfolders as well.]]
You can view your pictures as thumbnails in any My Pictures subfolder or any
folder customized as a pictures folder.

Thank you Wesley Vogel
Your answer sort of answer my question.......maybe I didn't ask the right
question!
I can now see thumbnails of my files in Windows Explorer. However when I am
in a program e.g. Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI and I do FILE - OPEN - the
file are all listed as a list. I can change them to thumbnail view but I
have to do this each time. How can I get it to default to thumbnail view?
Thansk.

Hi Fiona,
I do not know if Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI uses its own Open or Save As
dialogs or if it uses the regular Windows Open or Save As dialogs.
As far as I know, unless you're referring to an MS Office Open or Save As
dialog, you cannot change the default view with a regular Windows Open or
Save As dialog unless you get a 3rd party program to do it for you.
Have a look around here...
Open or Save As dialog Search Our Knowledgebase (Page 1 of 37)

You may also try this.

Open/Save dialog boxes. You may choose one of the Windows standard view
settings. ]]

Hi Wes
Thanks so much for taking time to help me. I thought it would be a really
easy thing....but apparently not. I have contacted Corel support so we'll
see what they come up with. PSP XI has a lot of problems......maybe this is
just another thing they haven't sorted out yet.
Thanks again.
Fiona.

The plug-inyou want is File-ex from Cottonwood Software. Totally free and
works on all File | Open and File | Save options.
Allows you to setup for each folder how you want them to be viewed
individually.
