Filmstrip view
in [Windows XP Basics]
|
From: H.B. on 15 Jan 2010 15:24 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

From: Brian A. on 15 Jan 2010 21:55 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. -- Brian A.

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 "Brian A." <gonefish'n(a)afarawaylake> wrote in message news:eSBQmdllKHA.2132(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Are there any photos in the folders that you do not have the View > > Filmstrip option?
