I have Gadwin Printscreen on both computers. My computer is Win.XP and my wife's is Win. 7 On the XP computer when I go to Print Screen it displays the pictures. On the Win 7 computer it just shows the files. I have to double click on each file to see what it is. How can I get it to display the pictures on the Win 7 computer?

Let me ask when you are looking are you looking at the windows explorer at the files and they show just the name of the file and not the picture?

Yes

OK open windows explorer and go to the folder where the pictures are. Now at the top of the window click on View.
Now click on one of the choices for what size icon you want. Let me know if that changes the way it looks.

When I go Start,Documents,Print Screen Files,then open the Print Screen files all it has across the top is. Organize, Share With,Burn, or New Folder.

So where are the pictures at?
That is the folder and if you go through Windows explorer you should have the view option. If you don't have the windows explorer on your desktop then go to start>accessories> windows explorer.
Then go to the folder with the pictures and see if the option is now on the top.

It winds up to the same screen. All the print screen files are listed,but I have to double click on each to tell what it is.

Can you get me a screenshot of the window when you have it open please.

[WilliamP]

Here goes

[WilliamP]

I can't get the screen shot to go.

[rshaffer61]

Go as in attach? Did you save it as jpeg file type because a bmp won't work. they are usually to big for attachments.

[WilliamP]

Second try

[rshaffer61]

OK can you do me a favor and right click on your desktop and then on New then create a new folder named Pictures.
Then copy all those into the new folder and see if the View will show up then please.

I appreciate your help. I found what I needed. On the right hand of the tool bar was a small arrow head. When I placed the cursor over it there was options displayed that gave me what I needed.

So now it shows the icons like you wanted?
