Disable Titles in Thumbnail View

SUMMARY: Leave more room for picture thumbnails in Windows XP.

To temporarily hide the titles of filenames when viewing folders in Thumbnail view (to give more room for your thumbnails), hold down the SHIFT key when opening a folder that is set up for Thumbnail view. Or, if you are already in a Thumbnail View folder, switch the view to Icons, then hold down the SHIFT key and switch the view to Thumbnail.
