My friend did something on her computer the other day in which her pictures folder - the pictures are not pictures now, they have the default photo app viewer. How can I change them so she sees the pictures are pictures?
Hi, if I interpret that correctly, you're seeing icons rather than thumbnails.
Perhaps this setting? (File Explorer, View, Options,

You are correct. Unfortunately the Apply to Folders is grayed out and clicking on it doesn't help.
Hello Larry,
Have your friend check to see if they may have turned off thumbnail previews by mistake.

I will do that, thank you.Hello Larry,

It's the Apply to Folders box with the blue border. It was grayed out on her computer.
What happened is my friend did some tinkering with her settings as she likes to do graphics projects and that's when the default Photo Viewer App came into play I included in my opening post. Yesterday I asked her to do a system restore but she wasn't for it because she didn't want to change anything. I'm just as glad now because I'll be able to fix the folder view: even though she doesn't want to change anything I'm sure she will accept this one. Thanks for following up with me dalchina.
