photos, pictures are icons instead of photos. How to fix?
When I write e-mail using WIndows Mail and to include photos, I choose Insert, file - and then the file opens with all these pictures. I see small thumbnails to know what image I want to send. I do not know what setting changed, but now when I look at the files, they are not thumbnails of my photos, but just the photo number and the icon (of any program is defined by default for images). Should what setting I change to recover my thumb nails? Thank you.
Miniatures,
(1) open your my pictures location, click on organize in the upper left corner, click folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck the top option, always display icons and never thumbnails, select apply and save.
(2) return to your location of my pictures, change the display of the page on the top of the right side next to the question mark symbol, there is another symbol with a menu drop-down symbol, click it and select the medium or large icons options specified.
Once in the browser of the attachment, you may need to repeat (2) on the display of the page.

Loss of the list/Faded icons of file Internet Favorites Word and picture
After a virus attack, I had to perform a system restore. I lost all Internet favorites that I had previously recorded. In addition, Word and picture files icons were wilted. After the restoration, I removed the virus with an anti-malware program. I also installed a new antivirus. I can't restore your Internet favourites list or the faded icons. Is this possible?
Hi MarkMasonNR,
- You see favorites listed in "operating system drive >: \Documents and Settings\
\Favorites " folder?
Step 1:
I suggest that you try to run an antivirus full scan on the computer by using the anti-virus software installed on the computer. If you don't have any software antivirus installed on the computer, then try Microsoft Security Essentials:
Help protect your PC with Microsoft Security Essentials
In addition, you can run Microsoft Safety Scanner. The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
Step 2:
Create new user and check if this may help. If the new user is working then, I would say that set you the user profile damaged.

In the photo gallery I get icons instead of pictures TOO...
.. When I download photos picture library adds about 5 of the same photo from my camera and now I have more than 10,000 pictures inside. Of course, I want to delete them, but it would take me FOREVER to remove two pictures AND icons. Help, please! My husband and I are Senior models and actors, and I have to take care of all of our photos for use by our 4 different agents. I'm half crazy trying to understand this.
Hi Barbara...
It seems to me it's more a matter of file management that "Photo Gallery (which just view (s) files on your pc - or any other device that is connected)." You must be careful when removing the "double" as you do not throw the baby out with the bathwater... There have been many cases of folk by deleting files they wanted because they thought they were removing duplicates.
Do you use the library in Windows 7 to access your different image files? We are going to find where the files are actually located on your pc, and we can work from there. -Thanks, Ric.

Restoration of images and icons? None are displayed on web pages.
I used to have pictures and icons, but now none are not displayed, just text. I deleted Firefox and downloaded but the error persists so I have to have an incorrect setting.
Is he missing pictures then make sure you are not block images from certain domains.
- Check the permissions for the domain in the active tab in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.
- Check that the images are enabled: Tools > Options > content: [X] loading images automatically
- Check exceptions in "tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions.
- See the tab "tools > Page Info > media ' for blocked images (scroll all the images with the cursor key).
If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.
Make sure that you do not block the images of third parties, the pref permissions.default.image must be 1.
There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and security software (firewall, antivirus) that can block the images and other content.

Windows Photo Viewer icon is not displayed
I use Windows XP.
I installed Picasa Photo Viewer and photo file icons in 'Windows Explorer' under Windows Picture Viewer in Picasa.
After UN-installing Picasa and the restart, photos open with Windows Picture Viewer again (which is what I want), but Picasa is always displayed next to the name of photo file in Windows Explorer. Once the photo file has been opened, however, the Windows Picture Viewer icon is displayed in the upper left corner.
Newly saved photo files are also open with Windows Picture Viewer, but are showing the Picasa icon beside the name of photo file in Windows Explorer.
How can change the icons of picture file to the Windows image viewer in Windows Explorer?
I use Windows XP-are these steps still apply?

This article was written in 2003 and certainly applies to XP.

How to make a jpg file to an ICON _
I am trying to edit a jpg file in and to apply to a folder icon.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5108456_create-icon-file-jpg.html
Files with Windows ICO, commonly called "icon files" allow you to display small images and file names for easy identification file to the Windows desktop. While Windows comes with some stocks ICO files, the library of stock isn't very large, and many users out of choice of separate icons for items on the desktop. Even if stock like Microsoft Paint image editing programs do not allow users to save as ICO files image files, conversion of JPG to ICO format is possible on the Internet.

display icons instead of thumbnails for images Vista
About a week ago Windows stopped properly building and then display thumbnails for all my photos. I am running Vista 64 bit SP2. I tried all the answers that I could find on the internet. My FOLDER OPTIONS are all properly to show the pictures and icons, etc. I also deleted and tried to rebuild my miniature database through Cleandisk and also removing the stamp (PD4) file. Nothing seems to work. When I open a folder to view Windows will show thumbnails for a second 1/2 approximately and then return to show only icons... Everyone finds another fix for this? I also tried a restore until this problem is occurred and who also had no effect.
Make sure you have your opinion... overall set for tiles.
This setting is the Folder Options / tab / apply to all folders...No guarantee... but the following article may be worth a visit:
