Folder View in My Pictures

[Guest]

The folders in my pictures in most cases show 4 of the pictures in the
folder. However, several folders only show one picture. How do I customize
them to all show four pictures?
I have tried rightclicking the folder then going to properties and clicking
the customize tab. This only displays on picture. I want four displayed.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

How many pictures are in the folders that show less than 4 images on the
folder icon? Just glancing through my folders using Thumbnail view, I'm
seeing less than 4 on folders that contain less than 4 images of a type
that Windows supports. Also, any image file type that Windows supports
(Bmp, jpg, gif and so on) show up fine. Images that require a third party
program to view (such as PSP, RIFF or PSD) are not represented.

If you work a lot with file types that do not show up on the folders, you
might want to create small jpg files of the originals and toss them into
the folders with the original copies.

Example: Open a PSP file and use File> Save As >(samefilename.jpg) Drop
both the original PSP file and matching JPG file into a folder. The JPG
image will show on the folder icon if the folder has been customized for
images.

Sharon,

Thanks for your suggestion. Sorry I took so long to answer but this web page
has been unavailable.

I think I have cracked my picture dispaly problem. I have a number of
folders nested within one overall folder. The bottom layer of folders can be
set to have four pictures dispalyed by going to
properties/cutomise/default/apply. Any folder layers above the bottom set can
only have one picture on the folder and I can select this picture by going to
properties/customise/select pictre/apply.

Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome, Bob and thanks for the feedback. Interesting and will
experiment with it here.
