Icons, no real jpg, showing in Windows Explorer when viewing images in the photo folder

All of a sudden when I open my photos in the start menu and click on a file, rather than display the actual image, I see a sort of generic icon that Windows has assigned to my jpg files.  Jpg on the display of the desktop with the same icon.  I can't find anything that tells me how to get the actual photos to show once again instead of this icon.

"Always show icons, never thumbnails" / apply / OK.

  • BlackBerry Software windows explore opens automatically to display the volumes

    When I connect (usb or wireless) my BB 10 phone to my computer, Windows Explorer opens automatically to display the contents of the S/D card and the device. How can I disable auto open to explore?

    UH... I don't know any way for volumes of BB to the card and display without the running Device Manager. You may have a few weird things configured on your computer, deleting things from appearing in the system tray? Very strange... is the desktop running software? When it is, and the device is connected, the device manager must run.

    If you really can't find it, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the Desktop software and try again, this time not to select this option as you go.

    Good luck!

  • I can't view my photos, no thumbnail shows, and Windows Explorer will crash if I try

    All of a sudden I can't see my pictures in Microsoft Office Picture Manager instead of the default (don't remember what it was called Photo Gallery?).  When I open any image file on my computer, it will show the name of the photo, but no thumbnail preview is displayed.  Even my desktop wallpaper, which was a picture of my computer, now is just empty.  When I try to upload photos on Facebook from my computer, Firefox or Internet Explorer will crash.  Help!

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/disable-thumbnail-previews-in-Windows-Vista-Explorer/

    Try this

    It has less organize - folder and search options menu uncheck the "always show icons...!

  • When you use Windows Explorer to view the files and folders, the thumbnails of image files appear briefly then are replaced with the default icon of the image file. I tried the answers to similar problems, but none worked.

    Browse the folders with image files, I cannot see the thumbnail icons for images correctly.  I know, it should be possible, but I can't do it.

    When I first open a folder in Explorer, I see the correct images for a fraction of a second, then all images are replaced by the thumbnail of the image file (which looks like part of a digital SLR).
    I put all folders to display picture to display the preview and the filter, and the "always show icons never thumbnails" is not checked.  Display file icon "on the photos' is unchecked (I tried checking, too, without change).  I also deleted the thumbnails using disk cleanup as suggested on another question, but which did not allow them.
    The result is that, if I want to open an image for editing or downloading, I have to use a third-party application (for example, Pentax Photo Browser) to preview images, and then return to the Explorer window to select the correct file by name. Don't try to difficulty of these things that are not broken.

    izzlecrate,
    You might want to try it and I just did this procedure myself a moment ago and surprising, it worked!  First of all I must tell you that I have Windows Vista, but the information I got was for Windows 7 and it worked.

    First: You must create a NEW FOLDER and put it on your desktop.
    Second: Move or copy the contents of the original file in the NEW FOLDER on the desktop. I copied the content, just in case something went wrong.
    Third: After that is finished and all the contents are inside you.
    Fourth: On the desktop right click on the folder and click Properties at the bottom of the box.
    Fifth: Click Customize tab at the top and then the Middle click on DEFAULT settings for the folder.  Click on apply to, click OK and your done

    NOW! You can move the folder wherever you want by drag-and - drop the folder and when it's done and that's the best part, you should see the thumbnails of the folder on the EDGE of the folder that you just created.  It worked for me and I hope it works for you.
    I have 10 years of experience with my computer and have troubleshooted my friends for viruses and other computer problems successfully.  I'm advanced computer user.

    That this is done, it restores the folder its original settings.  Good luck! Rick

  • Windows Explorer thumbnail JPEG image that is superimposed with the icon in the lower left!

    When displaying thumbnails of JPEGs in windows Explorer, the tile is covered by another icon so that the lower left corner of the thumbnail cannot be considered.  The icon is a blue square with double white arrows on the inside. Someone can tell me which program is what actually happen and how can I stop it from appearing on the tile.

    I suppose that you have an installed Norton Security Suite or Norton 360 and that is what causes these icons.  They exist to indicate whether or not a file was supported upward (I think they become green when she was saved, but I'm not quite sure that I will never use Norton products).  From what I read, there is an option somewhere in the menu or the toolbar of the Norton program to disable this "feature" - you can search yourself or ask for help from technical support of Norton http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/dtree.jsp?pvid= .  I understand why it affects shortcut icons, but I do not understand why it is affecting. JPG files but apparently from what I've read it's very common.

    If you grow tired of Norton and the problems it causes (if you did not experience even further than this, I'm sure you'll eventually - I see a lot of them here), you can switch to the free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html (Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate and Norton or anyone else really adds nothing of value) or maybe Avast to http://www.avast.com/index.  They are both excellent anti-malware programs even if they are free.

    I hope this helps.

  • Question from Windows Explorer/view - images from the image file can be displayed instead of simply as an icon?

    Under Windows Explorer/view when I click on a folder of images I got a list of icons with jpg file name. It is difficult to imagine what is in the photo with DSC0526, or IMG7322, or NB67388. I thought that it would be much more convenient if images are displayed instead of simply as an icon. Is there a way to do this?
