Images as Thumbnails in Windows 7
Set Folders to Display Images as Thumbnails Instead of Icons In Microsoft Windows 7
After installing Microsoft Windows 7 I encountered an annoying (Images as Thumbnails) issue. Normally when browsing images in XP (I never used Vista), I could easily set any folder to display a thumbnail of each image thus making it much easier to decide which image I wanted. However, after installing Microsoft Windows 7, I could no longer do this. After figuring out the solution, I thought I would post the solution, step by step, and maybe just maybe, someone might find it useful.

Step #2
Top right of the Control Panel window (View by:) select “Large icons” or “Small icons”

Step #7
Click “OK” in the “System” dialog.
Step #8
Right click in any folder containing images and select “Extra Large”, “Large”, “Medium” or “Small” icons.
You should now have your image files available as thumbnails
