Here's my latest issue: I open an explorer window, then open my camera's memory stick to check new pics, view set to THUMBNAILS. There's about a dozen pics I want to cut & paste to another folder on my network. But, when I open a second explorer window and open the second file, then half the thumbnails on the stick folder disappear, and the view options are grayed out, can't change them. And the second folder opens with view set to "list", and it's also locked... ???
This is no-brainer stuff for XP. But 8.1 can't figure out how to display thumnails in 2 folder windows??
As long as I open ONE window, I can do whatever I want. As soon as the second window is open, the view option on both folders is locked. Moving to sub-folders makes no change. I've searched google for some sort of answer, so far zilch.
Any ideas? I'm about ready to just install XP in this thing, or use it for target practice. I've found Windows 8(.1) to be about as useless as can of sand...
