Hello my name is Bradford, and I'm an Independent Advisor for the Microsoft Community, and I'll help you with making thumbnails larger than Extra large. Sadly, within Windows 10 there's no way to override the settings for Extra Large Icons. Instead, there is a program that was formerly included with Windows, but it is still free named "Windows Live Photo Gallery.

If this doesn't affect, you desire, please let me know. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. This site in other languages x. I used to let them browse through the thumbnail previews on my computer to let them pick out what they wanted and in what style. When you count folders and subfolders, there are several hundred that my clients can potentially browse through. Being able to quickly scan the preview thumbnails on the folders USED to be a real asset - particularly since they don't already know what's in ANY of the folders already as I do.

When are you going to design that patch? Pic of some movies on my office computer with Windows 7. Put all the files in a sub folder leaving out 1 picture file. You get that as a preview. Works for every type, pics, video, music. Not the flat XP pic I would prefer but better than the pointless jumble of 3D crap your usually stuck with. I only switched to Windows 7 recently as my old laptop was running out of steam for editing video, etc.

If it's NOT an improvement The 3D folders in Windows 7 are pathetic and retrograde. At least provide a patch so that the old XP versions can be used in 7.

Try ''listening'' to your customers!!!!! I'm with SunShiner 54 - Microsoft you need to listen to your customers, this inflexibility is ridiculous. I am trying to manage over GB or music files, and each directory has an appropriate folder.

You want users to sing your praises instead of going to Macs? I just stumbled across this forum also in desperate search for a solution to the AWFUL frilled out folder icons that obstruct the thumbnails inside. This is my biggest gripe about this operating system!

Let me just echo what the other users on this forum have been saying But you won't include it will you Microsoft? Bill gates is trying to make a kinder gentler machine for the drooling masses. I haven't sat in front of a Windows 8 machine yet but every time a commercial for 8 comes on I think, "Windows 8; now kid and senior friendly". Circular menus I feel like I have to leave breadcrumbs for myself so I can navigate around! Are you trying to tell me that another system of organizing files has been layered over the existing filesystem?

Why not add a third layer and call it, I don't know There are a few things I like about Windows 7 but I'm too mad right now to say. Stay well everybody, good night. Is it just me or has the "flat" folders still not been implemented? I sure cant find them. If not, Microsoft are completely out of synch with reality and loose 6 potential licensed customers in my end on this issue alone. Thx for the 8. The distorted and useless folder thumbnail is clearly a very bad design, can we just make something better than this?

What are the UX team doing? This should be a P0 bug and 9 should not be shipped without it fixed. A Windows without all those bundled apps, without IE, is still a good Windows. Those things can be perfectly solved by 3rd party. I too hate the vertical view folders icon and I loved the xp styled folder view.

Until recently I have been using two computers, one running win 7 for my programs and one running xp just for storage of my files. I can not believe microsoft haven't brought an option for the xp style folders in win 8. What I do now is make my own icons.

This is far from ideal and not at all what we are asking for but I love using win 8 and I hate the vertical folders. It is quite time consuming making icons for folders, I wouldn't advise doing so for a folder you were only planning on keeping for a short period of time but most of my folders i plan to keep for many years.

Hi, In XP folders with pictures could put upto 4 thumbnails on the folder icon in thumbnail view. In Vista, I get the open folder with some angled pictures mostly obscured. Looks pretty, but not very functional. I suggest that this 4 way snapshot be restored. Given the huge large icon space Vista offers, perhaps even a 3x3 grid offering 9 thumbnails?

Regard, Mark. Monday, May 4, AM. Wednesday, May 6, AM. Sean, I am begging you on hands and knees, please put this feature in Windows 7. The current folder design is brutal. It forces you to memorize where all your photos are because it is impossible for anyone over the age of 40 and maybe younger to clearly see the severely angled thumbnail. The current display totally ruins the ease of use concept.

So again, please bring back the XP style of folder thumbnail. It may not look as pretty, but it does something much more important: it makes the folder thumbnail useful, as opposed to the current useless. Regards, BillR. Wednesday, June 3, AM. I also have major issues with this annoying "improvement" to the UI.
