Folder display issue

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

Hold down the shift key when switching to thumbnail view to hide the file
names. Do it again to bring them back.

I stand by my answer.

I don't know why, but the View settings *are* different.

At least they are on my machine, XP Pro.

Using Windows Explorer in the Folders pane.

Desktop
[-] My documents
[+] My Pictures

View of My Pictures folder in right hand pane is Thumbnails.

Going further down...

[-] My Computer
[-] Local Disk (C
[-] Documents and Settings
[-] Wesley P. Vogel
[-] My Documents
[+] My Pictures

View of My Pictures folder in right hand pane is Details.

Get down funky.

Oh.

Your reply was to my post not the OP, so I replied to your reply. :-)

Understand the extra typing.

*Now* I get why the View settings are different.
