What happened to the thumbnail view in Windows 7?

When you view a folder in Windows Vista, you could see the photos of the contents of the files. in Windows 7, I see only the icons and the preview pane displays no preview available. This is especially noticed on PDFs, but others do the same.

Install appropriate programs or codecs. Some programs do not automatically generate the previews and must be specifically enabled to do so.

  • What happened to the initial view options in the Document properties?

    What are the initial view options in the Document properties? I just updated my player and it is no longer accessible. SOS.

    Hi kga406,

    Please tell me if you are able to access 'initial view' tab in the properties of the document using Acrobat.

    You can change the initial view settings in Acrobat and you can view a PDF in Reader with the same initial point of view as established.

    Kind regards

  • What happened to the option View / Source? I used it all the time

    How you look at the source code (HTML) for the page now that you have removed the option View/Source. I am now using Chrome for this reason...

    Use one of them:

    • Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
    • Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
    • Right-click on a web page to open the shortcut menu and select the Source of the Page
  • What happened to the Option "Associate a Windows Live ID with a user account".

    Ideas:

  • What happened to the previous view button?

    I was distressed the previous, so useful view in Reader Version 9 button, seems to have been deleted in version X. Is there anyway to configure version X, in order to get it back? (If not, what could the designers at Adobe have thought?)

    Right-click anywhere on the toolbar and choose the Page Navigation, then the keys you want to add.

  • Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

    For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

    Hope this helps.

  • Windows XP: I have 448 MB of RAM available. What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem. Thank you

    I am trying to install application constant guard Internet Security of Comcast.  After trying to download and install the product, I get and RAM error message indicating I need 512 MB of RAM to install this product, and I only have 448 MB of RAM available.  What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem.  Thank you

    The only way to see more of RAM is to install a graphics card and disable the onboard graphics of your motherboard. If you do this, you should be able to see all the 512 MB of it.

    That being said, I will repeat what I said before...
    You can always buy more RAM and install it on your motherboard. Go to crucial.com for more information.
    In addition, you should review install 'Internet Security' application or suite. They are not necessary (you can easily configure Windows so that it is very safe) and they often ruin the performance of a PC.
    If you want advice in "hardening" your PC security, let know us.
  • What happened to the Windows Media Player toolbar?

    I recently downloaded the Windows 7 RC and all my programs and all that work very well, with a few exceptions, but that is because I get all my programs on another partition and another thing is that I didn't see the option to use the windows media player toolbar. In windows XP and Vista, you can set it so that when minimize you WMP, all control buttons appear in the taskbar. Now on Windows 7, it doesn't happen and I don't see an option to do so. I know that you can set it so that there the samll box and it will always stay on top, but which takes place on my monitor. I liked it much better on the task bar. Nobody knows what happened to the toolbar, or is my version of Win7 Glitching?

    -Windows 7 RC Build 7100.

    The tools for Media Player toolbar has been removed because in Windows 7, you can control the media player using Aero Peak of the taskbar. When your mouse on the icon in the taskbar with multimedia and the WMP player narrowed down to the taskbar, the peak flyout box will appear and you can control the media here.

    What in is he developed a method for people who are geeks high tech click on something that will lead THEM to last orders?

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    /* move "Show All Bookmarks" to the top of the Bookmarks drop-down list */
    #BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_bookmarksShowAll {-moz-box-ordinal-group:0}
    
    /* move "Show All History" to the top of the History drop-down list */
    #PanelUI-history > * {-moz-box-ordinal-group:3!important}
    #PanelUI-history > label.panel-subview-header {-moz-box-ordinal-group:1!important}
    #PanelUI-history > #PanelUI-historyMore {-moz-box-ordinal-group:2!important}
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in this folder (the names are case-sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file

  • Image of the hand in the thumbnail view

    One of our files is displayed with an image of the hand in the thumbnail view, and in the details, view has a dark area at the bottom of the image in folder of files.  What does that mean?

    One of our files is displayed with an image of the hand in the thumbnail view, and in the details, view has a dark area at the bottom of the image in folder of files.  What does that mean?

    It seems that if you want something like the "Family Photos" folder in this image: http://www22.verizon.com/NROneRetail/NR/rdonlyres/E54BDDF6-5BB6-4A60-93C7-F2F0785D56BD/0/XPSharePhotoFolder.jpg

    This icon indicates that the folder has been shared (for example, it is available on your network).  The "dark area" in the Details view is the same, it is more difficult to see because the icon is so small.

    If you do not want to share the file (and thus the files in the folder), right click, select Properties, click the sharing tab and check the box "do not share this folder.

    Note: Windows XP has a "Simple file sharing" mode that is enabled by default in XP Pro and is the only mode available in XP Home.  In XP Pro, you can turn off this mode.  The 'Sharing' tab is a little different depending on whether you are in the mode.  For Simple file sharing, clear the checkbox "Share this folder on the network" instead of the above option button.

    The sharing tab, Simple file sharing enabled: http://tech.ifelix.net/images004/file018.gif
