Windows Explorer: not showing picure file names

G

Guest

I've got a folder on my PC containing pictures. When I open it in Windows
Explorer and use the Thumbnails view, the file names under the thumbnails are
gone. In other folders they are visibile (even subfolders of the not working
folder). When I choose any other view the filenames reappear just fine..

In the 'Choose Details' window of the folder the 'Name' option is selected
(it's not even possible to deselect it).

I'm lost..

Hi q300r_bc,

The Shift key toggles files names on and off in Thumbnails view. When you
open Windows Explorer, go to View and ensure that it's set to something
other than Thumbnails, then go to View again and hold down the Shift key as
you select Thumbnails.



Regards,

Hold down the shift key when switching to thumbnail view to hide the file
names. Do it again to bring them back.
