Let's start by saying, I know little about computers. That being said, in My Pictures I have a lot of folders of different pictures, that is fine. But I open the folder and all the thumbnails are this one basic scenic scene. If I click on the thumbnail my picture is there. I do not know how the setting changed or what the setting is but I used to be able to see all my pictures on the thumbnails when I opened my folder. What do I need to do to make that happen? Thank you so much! Jennifer
 
Solution
Control Panel >> Folder Options

Click the View tab

UNtick "Always show icons, never thumbnails"

Click 'OK'

Additionally, when you open any Pictures folder, make sure it's set to show files as icons (small, medium, large or extra large). It may already be set to do that, but check anyway.
