Sometimes I can't do Filmstrip View... WHY?
 

Does this ever happen to anyone else? If I'm in a folder consisting entirely of images (in XP), sometimes there's no option to view the files in Filmstrip View, but then other times I can. Is there a reason for this?

Here's a screencap. Both of these are within image folders.

Can someone explain why in one it's available but in the other it's not?

Sometimes depending on the creation environment of the folder or the type of files that have been in the folder, WinXP may not mark the folder type correctly.

To fix this, go to View -> Customize this Folder. From the drop down menu select the "Photo Album." This will force Windows to set the folder as a picture folder type.

Thank you very much.
