Display thumbnails WMF in Solution Explorer window

I have Vista on my computer and you cannot view thumbnails of WMF in Solution Explorer files, if I can open these files.  I think that Vista will have these files blocked because of some kind of security risk. Does anyone know if there is a way to display these thumbnails in Explorer (I have already downloaded Irfanview) without file conversion?

Thank you

Christine

  • Sansa Clip is not display or play WMP and Explorer Windows files are on it

    I used the Clip fortunately because I first had and managed to put in place.  I keep a large stock of podcasts on it and update the element using WMP sync several times a week when the podcasts are updated.

    I installed the 1.01.29 updated firmware when it came out.  (From Windows Explorer it shows as 1.01.29A for some reason any.)

    Since then, many of the podcasts that I already had on the Clip, which I listened to several times, became invisible and unplayable on the Clip.  However, I can see them in Explorer Windows and WMP, for example from the view of the Albums.  (I don't know why the synchronization WMP process puts podcasts on the Clip of music, rather than podcasts, but I don't really like).

    I deleted all the files, reformatted the Clip and put the files back on.  Same story.  I also tried the addition of files that don't have no/plan lounge pulling them to the Windows Explorer.  Same story.

    The really strange thing is is not random which arise and which don't.  All the podcasts in German, old and new, two web sources, view and play very well.  All podcasts new and French I had do not show in the display of the item.  Front of 1.01.29 all the files from the two sources has shown / played very well (with one exception, which I will post on separately.)

    Does anyone else have this?  Any ideas?  Can I send sample files which work and which don't work for Sansa support if requested.

    Place podcasts in the podcast folder, or make sure that the tag ID type is set to Podcast.

  • How can I reduce the size of the Solution Explorer window when you save a web page by using the Page save (Ctrl + S)?

    Save the Page (Ctrl + S) used to open a small window of the Explorer (Windows 7 OS). All of a sudden (after update for FireFox 37.0.1), it opens a window of browser enlarged (full screen). The passage of the mouse on the window edge, arrows a size change appear, but do not meet the drag. How make the window smaller, or reset the Page save (Ctrl + S) so that it opens a small window again?

    You can open the system menu of the window selector to file via Alt + space to check if the window is not maximized?

  • In the Solution Explorer window, how do add us a comment to a folder?

    Windows Explorer has additional columns that can be shown - which is the comment column, another is the Title column.  How one actually fills these columns with text.  I have a long list of files I want to id and sort not only by the name of the folder. It can easily be done to the files, but not for folders! Microsoft forgot something? Add on?

    Hello

    It works as it should, but as a workaround, you can create a shortcut to the folder and add comments.

    I want the search to look through all of the hard disk.  When I select them individually, but it will take forever and is not fair, it will search individual files.

    System folders are hidden.  You can change the setting for this, but if research is your reason to leave things as they are.  If view you it their search will take more time and system files contain all the data you can find in any case.

  • Cannot view thumbnails in Explorer, Windows 8

    I can't see the thumbnails in Explorer, Windows 8, I have checked the settings and they are correct, is there a patch similar to windows 7?

    I did, but still does not... ple help me, I wanaa reall read pdf

    TX

    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.

  • Look a DNG in the file Explorer Windows 8.1 as the image thumbnails... How to proceed?

    Does anyone know why you can't display RAW .dng thumbnails of image files in the file Explorer Windows 8.1 even with the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack installed.

    Other RAW files appear as thumbnails without problem (e.g. Nikon. NEF files). I could see dng thumbnails in Windows 7, but not with Windows 8.1. Perhaps, Adobe did not share the appropriate information. for Microsoft to get there?

    See if you know how to see the dng thumbnails and can help me to do the same.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.
