Perhaps folks in this group would spend time looking at thumbnails of images
they create.

I've got Win7 on a work-issued laptop. In failure analysis, I have to look at
directories of micrograph images that a technician has taken, and open a handful
of them for tweaking and resizing to go into a report. The technicians
thankfully take more images than I need for my reports, which enables me to
choose the best views, etc...

On WinXP, it was easy to see the thumbnails of all my images in a given folder.
On Win7, even if there were as few as a dozen images, it very frequently shows
me the first one or two, then stops. (This is of course in the Windows Explorer
with the option of showing "Extra Large Icons".  I know this happens when I go
to a Mapped Network Drive and IIRC may also happen at times with files on my
local C:.


Is this a bug / an asinine design poilicy (the first two are the same) / a
setting that can be unchecked / a IT policy of the host.
