Folder Options - My Pictures View as Thumbnails
by Guest Tomcelica- 2 replies
- 176 views
I hope this is easy... Can I set Folder options so that The "My Pictures" folder and all of its Sub-Folders are viewed as Thumbnails. Problem: Adobe Photoshop elements by default creates folders for imported pictures based upon the date the picture is taken. After each import I need to set the folder option to view thumbnails... Goal: I don't want to do this system wide as my preference is to see file details for most other folders. thanks -tom

Home PC Repair
by Guest PSULionRP- 4 replies
- 230 views
I wasn't sure of the right forum to put this in. Please don't be upset with me. I have previously used a PC Home repair service. I think they were located on the West Coast of the US and I believe their web site had "1800" in it. It was something like "1800fixmypc" or something like that. They were really good. But for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the web site. I swear to you all that this is not an advertisement or anything like that. Just a poor slob that cannot remember a web site name for the life of me. Can someone out there possibly help jar my memory??? Thanks for your help. PSULionRP

Trouble with USB connections
by Guest Walter R.- 4 replies

Running Win XP SP2. Normally, when I connect a USB device, Windows goes ding-dong and connects. Was working fine for my USB connection to my external SATA drive, which I use as a backup drive. I use an internal SATA drive as the boot drive. No problems. Since yesterday, it just sits there without making any connective noises and without recognizing the drive. I do not see this drive in the Bios, or in Windows Explorer. Device Manager shows no problems. The external SATA drive is formatted in NTFS, all other drives are formatted in Fat 32. Could this be a factor? There must be something wrong with my USB system/connection. Any suggestions would be…
