Default Filmstrip view

Are there any photos in the folders that you do not have the View Filmstrip
option? If not you have the reason, the filmstrip option is only available for
folders with photos.

No, it was already set the way you recommended.
Any other ideas?

I have some windows that allow the filmstrip view and others that do not.
I
have researched this and what I found was:

1. Select "View" - "Customize This Folder".

2. The folder properties multi-tabbed dialog box will appear. Underneath
"Use this folder type as a template" choose "Pictures" or "Photo Album"
as
desired.

3. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

The "View" - "Filmstrip" option should now be available.

I have followed the instructions, but I still don't get the option for
the
filmstrip.
Any suggestions? I am running windows xp home editions.

Thanks in advance,
hb


See if this helps:
Open either MyComputer or Explorer.
On the Menu bar click Tools Folder Options...
Under the General tab Tasks pane select "Show common tasks in folders".
Click Apply Ok.

If the option View Filmstrip still is not available, complete the steps
again to customize the folder.
