Folders: Filmstrip view not always available

[Keith Stonefield]

On certain folders on both my hard drives, the Filmstrip view is not
available in My Pictures. I checked the Windows Help and Support and it said
to choose "Show common tasks in folders" under Tools > Folder Options >
General tab. However, that option is already chosen. It's weird because
every once in a while, the Filmstrip view does not appear whereas all other
times it does. Thanks for any help!

Hello,

I found the answer to my own question after posting:

Right click folder in question.
Choose Properties.
Choose Customize tab.
Under "What kind of folder do you want?" choose Pictures or Photo Album.
Works!

Sorry for wasting some space here...
