Hello again, 1. Where is this "Enable Thumbnail View" option? In Folder Options > View, it's 1) "do not show hidden files" or 2) "do not show hidden or system files " or 3) "show all files" ... nothing specifically about thumbnails. No matter, I can't understand why when I have the second option (the default option in Windows 98 as probably in all versions), I see a hidden file indicated in the Status Bar; when "showing all files" nothing is added to the window (which I keep in "explore" rather than "open" but that shouldn't matter).
Even if I inadvertently deleted some file in Favorites (whether outright or through the registry), if it is not there, it should not be indicated in the Status Bar. And if it is there, it should be seen when all files are made visible. This doesn't seem to be effecting the proper working of the computer; it's just a curiosity. If it is of any help, I keep neither desktop nor folder in "Web Page" view (I like to be able to change names of files/folders with that slow double click without opening anything; a personal preference). And thank you, Babs, I'll be looking into this page: http://www.fcs.iastate.edu/computer/tips/thumbs/default.htm ... are you really as bubbly as your name indicates? Or is it like my Status Bar, in indication signifying nothing. "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." I know there is someone famous who said that. 2. Regarding window size, are you saying that there are two types of webpage shortcut icons? And if yes, why can't I get the second shortcut to always open to maximize without the need of clicking the middle "square" button in the upper right hand corner. Btw, what is the name of those buttons? I know there is one ...
