Thumbnail view for particular folder

Hamster · 26 Feb 2008 at 11:33

I've got all my photos in one folder which is split into loads of subfolders. Is there any way of viewing them as thumbnails without having to click view/thumbnails for every subfolder i open, without enabling thumbnail view on all other non-photo folders?

XP or Vista?

I'm pretty sure that Vista can push folder view templates down to subdirectories.

Sorry, should have said. I'm running XP with SP3

Thanks for your hint about templates. It led me to customise the folders as photo templates (didn't know that feature!) Not a biggie but when i customise the 'Photos' folder to 'as photo album' and tick the 'include subdirectories' box, each subfolder has a picture icon but the jpegs in the subfolders are still in 'detail' view so i had to customise each subfolder in the same way and now i can see thumbnails.
