I'm trying to help a friend. He uses outlook express and when he goes to
insert, for instance, a jpg file into a new message, he gets a thumbnail
view of all of the pictures in the folder. He wants to use the detail view
rather than thumbnails. He only gets the thumbnail view when in OE; ie, if
he just browses the folder with windows explorer, everything remains in the
detail view which is how he set it up. Is there a setting somewhere that
will disable OE'sdisplaying the files as thumbnails?

thanks for any feedback.

Change the view in the dialog box in OE - it's the funny little box right at
the R/H end of the address bar...
BTW, this is not the best place to post about OE:

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...xpress.general
Good luck!

You'll be more of a help to your friend if you ask your question in a
newsgroup for Outlook Express.

Until then, you might suggest he read the Outlook Express Help file
(press F1 while in the program) and this article in particular: To
insert a file into a message

Re-reading your question, I realized that I completely misunderstood
what you were asking about and I do apologize.
