My Pictures folder
in [Windows XP Basics]
|
From: James on 14 May 2010 21:52 I am trying to help someone who is using Internet Explorer 8, Windows XP Pro. but when they click on "My Pictures" it does not show the images in the folder, but only the URLs of the images. How can that be changed so it will show the images in the My Pictures folder? Thanks James

You should be seeing the Windows Explorer icon. You should also be getting a pane with a blue background in the left side of the Windows Explorer window with options for things like "View as a slide show" and "Copy all items to a CD" Windows Explorer has different display views. Look for a pull down on its tool bar that features an icon that looks like a miniature of the window. The Filmstrip and Thumbnail views will show miniature versions of the graphics in the folder. The same view options should be available in the second section of Windows Explorer's View menu. Note that the title bar icon for Windows Explorer might have other things protruding from the file folder or just a file folder when it's displaying other folders on your hard drive. When showing "My Computer" Windows Explorer might even show an icon depicting a CRT equiped computer system. The browser will usually include "- Windows Internet Explorer" after the page title defined by the web site developer. When displaying a page or graphic on YOUR computer the title bar will display the file path and file name (space permiting).

When you click on My Pictures in the Start menu, the window showing the thumbnails doesn't appear-so I never get the window with the images, I only get a list of urls-and we need to see the window in My Pictures containing the images.

You should be able to use the information I provided earlier about title bar icons, text on the title bar ( is "- Windows Internet Explorer" present?) and the presence or not of that list of options on the left side of the window to determine which application is generating the window. While they both utilize some of the same code libraries, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer are certainly two different applications. Normally clicking "My Pictures" results in a Windows Explorer window. In many of the views the listing contains the file names of the pictures (like "dcs00132.jpg" or "clouds.bmp"). Depending on the active "view" the window may also contain icons representing the application that will be used to open or edit the picture OR a reduced size "thumbnail" version of the picture. Many people would reserve the term "URL" for pictures and other files stored on a remote computer like a web site. "My Pictures" would normally be on your computer's hard drive. Internet Explorer normally displays a single picture (often with a file name ending with .jpg or .gif). or a web page. A web page displayed in Internet Explorer MIGHT display a list of pictures and/or URLs, but clicking "My Pictures" normally doesn't result in the display of a web page. It IS possible for Windows Explorer to list the file names in a folder (pictures or other types) without displaying thumbnails or the larger version of the application associated with the file. That situation would normally be a result of using list or details view. If your computer is using Windows Explorer the information in my earlier post explains how to switch to Thumbnails view.
