Hi Moondog,
It sounds like you want to use the preview pane. Open File Explorer > click on the view tab > click on preview pane.
Hi Zeus,
That is certainly better than what I have going on ... but that way I have to click on each book separately. What I'm wanting is that when I open the folder and click on View and 'Large Icons' I can view all the book covers at one time. I have done this before and there used to be a 'fix' but I can't remember how I got this done and can't go back and see my 2 different threads that helped me with this.

Hi Moondog
So what happens when you select large icons? does it not display the thumbnail? is it just the icon?

Hi Guys
@ FreeBooter ... I'll keep that as a back up ... for now
@Zeus ... it is just the icon ... no thumbnail (image of the cover)

Hi Moondog,
This could be that always show icons is enabled.
Open File Explorer > click view tab > click the options button > click the view tab > untick 'always show icons, never thumbnails' > click apply and OK.
Hi Zeus,
tried that, it wasn't 'ticked' ...
here is the link to my last thread on this subject, but it doesn't help now.

Hi Moondog,
OK, go into control panel > double click system > click on advanced system settings > click the settings button under performance > make sure 'show thumbnails instead of icons' is ticked, if not tick it > click apply and OK.
Another thing to try would be to run Disk Cleanup with the thumbnails option ticked. This will delete all the thumbnail cache files and force Windows to recreate them when you browse a folder with File Explorer.
Zeus,
None of that worked
... argh!
