Enable Filmstrip View for a Folder SUMMARY: Enable filmstrip view in Windows XP Explorer when it does not automatically detect a particular folder contains mostly images.
Explorer in Windows XP has a feature called filmstrip view if you select "View" - "Filmstrip" in folders that contain pictures. This lets you horizontally scroll through your images as if they were on a filmstrip, and you can select an image to see a larger version above the filmstrip.
If you are browsing a folder in Windows XP containing mostly images and this feature is not available, you may need to customize the current folder's view.
1. Select "View" - "Customize This Folder".
2. The folder properties multi-tabbed dialog box will appear. Underneath "Use this folder type as a template" choose "Pictures" or "Photo Album" as desired.
3. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
The "View" - "Filmstrip" option should now be available.
