Hello, I can't see my pictures, only a generic with the download number. How can I change this back to seeing the actual picture so I know what I'm choosing without having to preview each one?

open pictures, point at the desktop pictures background, but not at an icon
(point at a blank spot, not the icon)
right click on the desktop pictures, in a blank spot, not on an icon.

left click view or point at "view"
now there should be a menu that gives you a choice of what icon is displayed as a thumbnail.
One of these choices is just a list of files, with no icons...
select: "large icons" or whichever one you want to see.

please, soundguruman-I am still not getting the actual picture- just a generic thumbnail, can't get the actual picture without preview each one... I am very new to this, but also am administrator of a FB page & I don't know which picture is the one I want to post- help, :sweat:  puckfouse

Here is how to fix this step by step:

First, open the windows explorer folder (mine is on my taskbar).

Second, click on ORGANIZE and then select "Folders and Search Options".

Third, Click the VIEW TAB and UN-select "Always show icons, never thumbnails".

VOILA you can now see your thumbnails!

Enjoy your pics :)
