Thanks. I will check that against mine. You have XP Home, right? If mine is
not that should I change mine? {Because} I think I found the thread from
last year (You are wonderful giving me that Google Advanced) and it may solve
it. Also, I just reformatted, like I said, so I probably don't wanna change,
especially if the old solution works, right?
Novice here sorry. I will get back to you. Here is the page from last
year if you wanna read...

You're talking about the file open/save dialog, right? It opens in list
mode except for the folder (and subfolders) designated as My Pictures by this
registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders
So check the path for "My Pictures" in that key & see if it is correct for
your folder.

If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, when I was sending a yahoo
email and was attaching an email, it would open "my pictures" with the
thumbnail view. Now however it is not doing that . It is opening with the
picture name, me not being able to see each pic, and having to hit "view
thumbnail" each time.
Dell, as useless as they normally are, gave me these two links:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;813711
the second tells me nothing except for how to organize folders in a folder,
but the first gives a very complicated solution that may screw up the
registry, THAT I DON'T THINK I NEED BECAUSE MY OS WAS JUST REINSTALLED A
MONTH AGO.
I think one of two things are going on:
1) Either I am mistaken and the picture folder NEVER opened in thumbnail
view when adding pictures ( I should try it on my Mom's computer, but I am
not speaking to her now)
2) It could not be doing it now because the "MY PICTURES" folder I am using
now is a self constructed one, and not a windows generated one. Because I
have it on a second drive with just data, my d drive.
Could someone help or give me their ideas. thank you , eric

No Keith, unless I am misunderstanding you, I am talking about when sending
email, I hit attach, browse, d:, My Pictures, then they open in list, oir
some other descriptive way, but not in thumbnail view.

Most welcome.
Before I continue, am I right. If I open up "my pictures" regularly as
thumbnails, when I compose a message in Yahoomail and attach a picture,
should it open up "my pictures" as thumbnails also?
Should it open up......also for who?
Which email program are they accepting this in?
What are the settings - html/plain.....etc?
If no, then my problem is solved. (Can you try on your computer)
I don't use Yahoo, so can't comment or test for you.
Good luck!
