Since support has ended for XP, I went to Windows 7 Professional, and animated pictures (like 2 stars orbiting around each other) does not move like they did in Windows XP. This is on top of being unable to arrange folders or their contents as I desire like I could in XP. Also, If you pulled up what used to called My Pictures, My Music, or Flash drive, at the top you could customize it with things like folder options and other things, but now it seems that has also disappeared. Is there any way to anumate the pictures again or customize your drive windows?

Windows photo viewer does not animate gif images for some reason you have to open then with a web browser like IE or Firefox. Aparently the new Windows 8 photo viewer can do it but only in certain situations, really weird.
