Hi Pranuparekh,

Thanks for posting.

I need more information about this issue so that I can assist you better.

1. What exactly happens, when you try to follow the above steps?

2. Do you get any error code or error message?

Let us know the answers of the above questions so that we can assist you better.

Thanks.

Thank you - I can now see the thumbnail image of my JPG.  I'm using Windows 10.

I still have a problem in that the image in the RIGHT window is just the same tiny thumbnail that shows in the list on the left, with all the properties of the image.  This is generally useless.

How do I get the larger image that I have been able to see in all of the earlier versions of Windows Explorer?  Let me right click and ask for properties if that's what I need.  Not being able to quickly scan through my files is so TIME CONSUMING!!
