My Pictures and subfolders view

[Jackson]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

My picture folder is set to thumbnail view, I would like all subfolders set
to thumbnail view also, but if I right click my pictures folder, and click
properties, I have only general and sharing tabs, no customize tab. If I
drag my pictures out of my documents onto my desktop then I have all three
tabs, general, sharing, and customize, why is this?

Bottom line is how can I set my pictures folder and all subfolders to
thumbnail view?

Any help much appreciated,
Jackson

Interesting. never noticed that before.

I can think of a way but it's not ideal...

Open My Pictures and create a new folder Temp

Drag everything into Temp.

Set the properties for Temp and tick the box for subfolders.

Drag everything out of temp again.

I don't recommend moving My Pictures out of My Documents (eg to the
desktop). I don't really have a good reason for this but other system
folders tend to misbehave when moved sometimes.
