# Resolve problem: Windows 7 cannot display thumbnail image


Few days ago, when I viewed my folder which contain images, it displayed as the image bellow instead of thumbnail image:

It's really inconvenient! I thought that my Windows had an error but after search on the internet, I found the simple way to resolve it:

In the Explorer window, go to **Ogranize** -> **Folder and Search options** -> **View** -> Untick the checkbox **Always show icons, never thumbnails -> OK**

Now, my image folder was displayed as expected
