Windows 7 Preview Pane not working

Anonymous

Hi everybody,

It seems that I've some kind of problem with the PREVIEW PANE of the EXPLORER which only works for pictures and not for others type of files ( for video it only shows a pic, doesn't work for .txt, .pdf etc).

Would you know how to fix this problem ?

Regards

Here you go,

In Windows Explorer, click Organize / Folder and Search options / View Tab.

Remove the Check Mark from the Always show Icons never Thumbnails option.

Click Apply / OK.

In my case it was already unchecked - so I checked it, then a few minutes later unchecked it again - and problem solved!

Thanks ;o)

Thank you! One of the recurring issues I have is that there doesn't seem to be a one-stop shop to find out what the options that are checked/unchecked actually mean in terms of their effects on the normal usage of a program.
