Hi,

Welcome to the Community. Open the folder in which the pictures are saved. Hold down ALT and press F, this should open up a file menu on top of the window, click on view, and set it to your choice ( large icons, details, tiles ).

Hope this helps,

Thank you

Royan

Additionally to Dell Royans' suggestion:

If you want Windows Photo Viewer(for instance) to open instead of your picture editing program when doubleclicking a picture file you need to set it as your default program.

this still doesn't make the icon the actual picture

Hi,

Did you try the steps that I have given above?

Royan

yes I did and it still has an icon instead of the picture.

ok  how do I get the pictures to show instead

Ok I did that and it still doesn't show the pictures it just has a Q and JPEG not the picture

bikerangel4860,

Go to your picture folder. Click on the more options arrow in the top right corner.

Then click on the top section to change it. I use Largge icons.
