Don't you need the .ini file and icon for folders where you want to use
filmstrip mode? I was just looking at my own setup and all the ones where I
have filmstrip available have the .ini file and pictures icon.
Just a thought,

Yes, I have several folders with a few and some with a lot of pics
that I am unable to get the filmstrip option. But there are a few,
mostly those in a folder called "my pictures" that this option works
fine. hb

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.
