My Pictures folder in XP now missing "names"

    Somehow I must have recently chosen an option to remove the file folder "names" in My Pictures (the factory location for Pictures) when in thumbnail mode. The folder of My Music shows the text file names (when in thumbnail mode).

    I can easily change between the details, icon, list, thumbnails, etc.

    Additionally, when I BROWSE to the My Pictures folder from the My Computer portion, the text names WILL appear.

    I have tried all the toolbar options to get the file names to show, but cant.

    Can you help?

    TIA!

    Hello,
    See if this works for you.

    Select a different view other than Thumbnails in the View option on the menu bar.

    Then hold down the shift key while clicking Thumbnails in the view menu.

    Edit
    Key combination I was suggesting does not work in Win 7 so may not work in XP
