Can you customize the folder My Pictures? Just right click on it (don't open
it) and then Properties, Customize, under folder template, change Documents
to Pictures or Photos.
The filmstrip option is available only if the folder is set to the template
Pictures or Photos under the customize tab. Your subfolders were set this
way by default (the default template Pictures is automatic if the first file
in it is a picture file) but your Picture folder may not have been.

Sub-folders under my pictures are OK, it's the folder My Pictures that
does not give the Filmstrip option
