    Hello! Under Win98 we had such a blue-to-white bar with hyperlinks on the left of the file view in the explorer. In this area, it has shown picture previews when you selected one... It looked like the left pane of the bitbasket... Doesn't WinXP have this? I haven't found it...? Thanks and best regards

        Why in the world would anyone rate such a question a '1'? I managed to avoid the nightmare called Win98, but I use WinXP at work. I have several folders which display thumbnails of the jpg files stored there at all times. I believe that these are set up using the View menu, and selecting the Thumbnail option. It doesn't do the sidebar thing anymore, but all of the pictures are viewable in the main pane on the right. The sidebar, instead, now offers a nifty slideshow option useful for impressing the Board of Directors with a pictorial exhibition of the workers doing their thing to install new moneymaking equipment for the company - a use I discovered a few weeks ago when I brought along a camera on the day we installed a new transformer in a substation. This applies only to the Professional version; the Home edition I've seen only a few times, and found it just slightly less usable than DOS.

          Turn on the tasks bar by going to Tools > Folder Options, General tab, select 'Show common tasks in folders' and click OK. To show a preview of the image, expand the Details pane. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

            Windows xp has an option that will preview the file in thumbnail view. You don't need to preview the file in the left pane. But if you want, windows xp still has the pane to let you preview the file or using the above method.
