  VikashVivek,

  The issue/original post as well as answers related to the re-establishment of the feature to display thumbnails of files instead of file icons.  The answers above solve this 'problem '.

  Your post implies that you cannot view the pdf files.  Files with extension '.pdf' are opened by Adobe Reader.  If your problem is that you can't open the pdf files, make sure that install you Adobe Reader.  Most of the websites have links with Adobe.

  If Adobe Reader is installed and when you view a list of (or link to) pdf files do not see the icon of Adobe or the thumbnail, try the five steps below.

  If you know Adobe Reader is installed, but cannot open a pdf file by double-clicking on the name of the file, try the five steps below.

  1. right click on a pdf file

  2. you should see a dialog box with a bunch of options

  3 move the mouse down to 'Open with' and click on it

  4. There will be an option like this 'always open with' box

  5. move the pointer to the Adobe Reader icon and click on it

  If, in step 5, you don't see Adobe Reader as an option, then Adobe Reader is not a saved application.  In this case, you will need to install or reinstall.

  There is another possibility.  When you try to open a pdf file, if you get a message from Windows saying: you are not allowed to open the file (location), you will need to contact the owner of the system.

  I hope this helps.

• Player opens in the window of the printer; Cannot view documents

  All of a sudden all the icons Adobe on my desktop has changed to the Canon printer/scanner icon.  Open files results in a window that has to do with my printer.  There must be a sort of obstacle from the path.  Help!  Using the Player X, Windows 7.  I can view PDF files by opening the program Adobe Reader, but it's a pain.

  Uninstall and reinstall should fix associations; Unfortunately, a repair does not work. Alternatively, you can right-click on a file and use open with choose player as default program again, but it will give you a weird icon.

• Cannot view PSD files in windows Explorer

  Not sure why this is, but I just get a miniature icon that says PSD rather than see a preview of the file.  Also the message 'file type cannot be displayed' when you attempt to view with Photo Viewer. Help, please! I have Windows 7 Professional.

  Hello
  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft forums.

  You must install Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or higher to view these thumbnails using explore.  Don't use third-party products, this will slow down the performance of your pc.

• Windows XP cannot print on shared printer Windows 7

  I've recently updated my Windows XP computer to Windows 7.  This computer has acted as a print server for the other 4 computers in the House, all XP sp3.  However, now that I updated to Win7 print server and installed the 64-bit drivers, none of the XP computers can print to the printer (Canon i850).

  The problem seems to be that the Windows 7 machine installed 64-bit drivers to be able to print to the printer, and these are unusable by Windows XP machines.  On the Win7 computer, I try too install the x 86 drivers (under the properties of the printer-> sharing tab) so that Windows XP 32-bit machines can print, but of course the Win7 machine won't let me because it is not a 32 bit OS.  I was hoping that if I did my Windows XP machines for the printer itself on the network, they would automatically install the required printer drivers but no dice.  I tried to manually install the 32-bit drivers on the Windows XP computers directly, and it gives me an error.  Simply, I can't believe I'm the only one facing this problem (machine Win7 acting as a print server on a workgroup with Windows XP machines), but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.

  Thank you!

  The print driver names must match.  You will need to find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name that the 32 bit driver XP or install the 32-bit driver for Windows 7 on x 64 machine.  Because the files do not appear in the flat file on the 32-bit DVD format, you will need to ntprint of 32-bit Windows 7 files.

  If the pilots names then it is possible that coork has a better solution.

• Cannot view my pictures in Windows - coming souvenir photo gallery upward with a pink screen!

  Recently when I go to in my photo folders and try to view an of my my photos or images it is endlessly with a pink full screen with a slight preview of the photo (a bit like a photo negative!) Have you tried to change the color and other levels out a bit of luck. This was never a problem until a week ago. Have just got a new Philips monitor 190SW, it would have something to do with it? Any help or ideas on what could cause this problem or how to fix this would be appreciated.

  Hi Dave D

  Discovered that the problem was with the new monitor. The problem occurs because an incorrect color profile is used for the device to monitor in color management. When Windows Live Photo Gallery uses the incorrect color profile to manage settings of color for the images, the image may not appear as expected. Note: Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer does not use color profiles to manage the parameters of color for the images.

  I had to do the following (instructions for anyone else having a similar problem). For Windows Vista only.

  1. click on START, type color management in the Search box and press ENTER.

  2. in the color management dialog box, click to select the use my settings for this device check box.

  3. in the list of profiles associated with this device , click the color profile you want to remove and then click Remove.  Note if you receive a warning message, click Yes.

  4. click close, and then restart the computer.

  Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

• Cannot view Bcc recipients in Windows Live Mail sent mail

  I have Windows Live Mail, Windows 7 OS, and IMAP gmail. I tried everything I can find to display the BCC recipients, and all I can see in 'Détails' is "undisclosed recipients". I tried Ctrl + F3 (which used to work when I had Outlook Express), I clicked on properties/details. Some instructions speak by clicking a down arrow that is supposed to be right at the top of a message, but I do not have this arrow. If someone has found a way to solve this problem, I'd love to hear about it.

  If you don't know why, then WLMail used its default settings for Gmail accounts, which is IMAP.

  POP3 download only new messages in the Inbox. IMAP synchronizes the contents of all folders (labels in Gmail) between client and server (WLMail and Gmail), so no matter what computer you access account to use IMAP, you will see the same messages in the same place.

• Resources shared on XP in Windows 7 but cannot view shared resources on Windows 7 XP?

  Suddenly, my network has gone from wack-o!

  I cannot view shared resources (disks, folders) on the 7 machine Windows XP machine, but can view shared resources on Windows 7 machine from XP machine?

  Machine error message Windows 7:
  Windows cannot access \\machine\folder
  You are not allowed access to the \\machine\folder.  Contact your network administrator to request access.
  
  When I created the sharing folders and drives (on both XP machines and 7), the permissions for everyone.  I have the same name of user account on both computers.

  What is going on?

  Your general statement "Windows 7 has problems to access shared resources on XP" is incorrect. Yes, you have problems, but I have and none of my clients, amounts of problems to access the resources on XP Windows 7 boxes boxes. If something has changed in your situation, even if you don't think he has. It is very difficult to solve network problems without being on-site, but your error message does not indicate a problem with the username/password accounts, permissions or misconfigured firewall. All I can do is give you my usual network troubleshooting steps and you suggest to go through them. Also given that the problem comes from the XP box, troubleshooting of small network of Hans-Georg Michna MVP might help.

  http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm - small troubleshooting network by Hans-Georg Michna

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello befuddledXP,

  I can not be understanding you correctly. Is the configuration file, that you want to reach on a SBS 2003 Server? If Yes, then you must post in the SBS forums.
  It may be that the file exist no more in the way that you said.

• Cannot map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  Hi Buck,

  Welcome to the community.

  Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• Cannot access a shared folder on the computer Windows 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer

  I'm having a problem.

  I have a small network in my house consists of three computers.  One is running XP, it has Vista Home Premium, and it has Windows 7 Home Premium.  I usually use wireless networks, but I have the same problem if I use wired connections through my router.

  All three computers can see each other when I display the network on each.  I can ping each computer from other computers.  The problem is that when I try to access a shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Vista computer, I get an error window popping up that says:

  \\computer-name is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The network location cannot be reached.  For more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.

  I can get in the same shared folder on the XP computer.  I also have to shared folders on the XP computer Vista computer.

  I can also get to the shared folders on the XP and Vista computers on the Windows 7 computer.

  The only problem is learning to the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer Vista computer.

  The folder on the Windows 7 computer is configured to be shared by everyone.  Password sharing is disabled on all three computers.

  Any help would be appreciated.  If there is more information, I can give you, let me know.

  Thanks in advance,
