XP My Pictures - Disappearing Folder Names

822 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  devil_himself
I run Windows XP Professional and I have a problem with My Pictures, which I hope someone can solve for me.

I have a number of folders in My Pictures, all displayed in Thumbnail format; i.e. with the folder name displayed underneath the folder icon. Recently I dropped my mouse ( one of those with side buttons as well as left and right click buttons ) and for some reason the folder names in My Pictures disappeared. If I hover the mouse over the folder the folder details appear and if I look at My Pictures in List or Detail format, the folder names are present.

Can anyone tell me how to get the folder names to display again in Thumbnail mode.


Many Thanks

Close 'My Pictures' > hold down 'Shift' and re open 'My Pictures'
Zemanova, If you have the view set to show Thumbnails do the following:
Open the folder to see the thumbnails.
Hold the Shift key down and click on the View button and select Details.
Remove your finger from the Shift key. You now see file names.
Hold the Shift key down and click on the View button and select Thumbnails.
You will now see thumbnails with file names under them.
