Windows Me and XP make it easy to peek inside your graphics files. Instead of displaying a folder full of bland icons, Windows Me and XP transform each icon into a thumbnail-sized preview of the file's contents.
That makes it a lot easier to find the picture of Kitty eating the bamboo leaves after you dump 63 cat pictures into the same folder.
To turn on the previews, open the folder with the pictures, click View from its menu, and choose Thumbnails from the drop-down menu. Windows immediately replaces the icons with previews of your graphics and photos.
