How do make "my documents" show me a prevue of a jpeg in that same window as a thumbnail? It wants to open a seperate window for each photo.

In Windows Explorer, Select View and then Thumbnails.

I think this is what you are looking for.

A great viewer is irfan viewer. Its free and available at http://www.download.com

Let them know which version of windows you're running and it would probably get better help

I can't remember, but there is a way... it will give you a small preview on the left when you click on it... I always just used ACDSee:

get a program like ACDSee to browse thumbnails...

I can click on an icon to preview, but it loads it in a new window. One pic at a time!!!

Win98 eh? let's see, haven't dealt with it in years ...

but, there should be a setting under "View" or something that reads something line "View as Webpage". if that is checked, every time you select a file (just one click, not double click), it'll show you a preview of the file on the left ...

Yes, I have that option checked. Under folder options, there is a "file types" tab that will let me change the program that opens the pics. Anything there that might help?

That is exactly what I want to do Andy. Preview a thumbnail on the same page. It now opens it a new window in full screen.

what do you mean by "Preview a thumbnail" ??? do you mean "Full View", not preview (a Thumbnail *is* a preview)?
you want more than 1 full view at the time? more than 1 thumbnail at the time?

you want this? (thumbnails for each picture, still need to click each individual picture to view it full size)
user posted image

or

you want this? (full view of each picture, in the same window, where you can cycle through the pictures in a folder by pressing the forward/backward button)

or

something else?
