    Okay,
    I went into my pictures folder and when i opened it this is what comes up:
    [​IMG]

    All of the names disappeared.
    Is there any way to get the names of all of the files back.
    This is only happening in the "my pictures" folder. All other folders are working fine.

    I replicated the problem on my XP partition, davepermen was close ( I think)

    In thumbnail mode, if you open folders with ctrl+shift or switch display modes with ctrl+shift held down you loose the folder names. A system reboot should fix the problem.
