728795	2008-12-14 18:26:00	Yes I will have a look at that too but this is a dual boot system. If all else fails I may have to do a repair install. Fortunately there is a Vista DVD.	Driftwood (5551)

I have a question for you concerning something odd that's happened on my Windows Vista Home Premium computer . My account is Administrator type . I have an Administrator account and a Family account, but as far as I know, this has happened only in the Administrator account . I don't know if someone used the computer and accidentally changed a setting somewhere or not, but I've never seen this before, not even in XP . The problem occurred in my Documents folder (the one labeled with the account username) and also in the Control Panel folder: All the icons are still there, but they don't have names . The icon labels are simply gone! I tried changing the icon size, but same thing, there are no names for the icons . In the Details and Tiles views, the names appear as they should, but in the medium-to-large Icon views, they are missing . A . Both Windows Vista and Windows XP have a well-hidden ability to display thumbnail images with no labels . This feature is probably most useful in a folder containing just pictures . When you invoke it by accident, it can definitely make life difficult . To display the contents of a folder as thumbnails with no filenames, simply hold down a Shift key while switching the folder from Details view to Thumbnails view in XP or to one of the several Icons views in Vista . In my experience, this action is a bit less responsive in Vista—you may have to try several times . But clearly it wouldn't be hard to invoke this feature accidentally . So how do you get back the filenames? First, make sure the problem folder is currently set to display in one of the filename-free thumbnail views . Now click on some other folder, hold down a Shift key, and click back on the folder whose filenames you want to recover . Here again I found that in Vista I sometimes had to try several times . Now that you know how to turn this feature on and off at will, perhaps you'll find it's actually useful .	Driftwood (5551)
