Thanks Ramesh--the "image" choice did not appear when I
hit customize(?). I reset the folder settings and still
get the plain default icons (in detail view). To restate
the problem, I want to view icons as images in detail
view--I know it's possible because I can do it on my XP
at work. What do I edit in the registry to fix this?
Thanks for your help. Sue
