Thumb drives on W-8
I can't find any other W 8 help groups so have to ask here. How do you get
to see your images on your thumb drives using W 8? They show up as thumbnails in W 7 and Vista. With W 8 they're just names or numbers with no thumbnails. Where is the setting to change this as in W 7 and Vista? Surely someone here must have experience with W 8 and thumb drives.

Same answer as before about thumbnails - File Explorer/View/choose your option for thumbnail icon size, details, list, content, tiles -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps

I also found "Classic Exp Bar" there and changed it. If it wasn't for "ClassicShell" I'd return this Laptop. Really. It's not anywhere near as intuitive as Vista and W-7 are. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps

One changes to details, the other thumbnails. And when in thumbnails the good ole cntrol + mouse wheel changes the icon size.

Things are so tiny, including text, I didn't see that at the bottom right. Had I known MS had made so many changes I would have looked for a book or something on this OS. I can't find anything on that PC. I have to set text/icons larger so I can see better.

There is nothing called Thumbnails in Windows 8. HOWEVER, Windows 8 gives you several sizes of image Icons. You access them from the View in the Menu. In view you have three sizes of icons that are functionally what was called a thumbnail. Large Icons, Medium icons, and Extra Large Icons.

I worked on that last night and got everything at the right size for myself.

You will get used to it and it will almost be like Windows 7.
