I cant set my photos folder view as thumb nails, it keep going back to flim strip view.
Any ideas?

Firstly, set your My Photo folder view to thumbnails first.

Then, assuming you are on Windows XP, click on Tools>Folder Options...>View>

Under the Advanced Settings, scroll to the item "Remember each folder's view settings" and make sure it's checked.

Click OK to confirm.

See if that helps.

Thanks.
