If you're sifting through a folder that contains different kinds of documents, it can be hard to remember exactly what you're looking for just by the name. "If I could just see the first page of the document," you sigh to yourself, "I'd be able to find the exact document I'm looking for." But you don't want to open every document in turn, hoping to chance into finding the correct one. What are you to do? Fortunately, Windows 98 has a View option that turns the first page of a document into the document's icon. It's called Thumbnail.
To enable Thumbnail View for a specific folder, right-click on it and select Properties. Select the General tab and click the check box that says Enable Thumbnail View. Click OK and then double-click the folder. Now, in the View menu, you are given the Thumbnails option. Select it, and the first page of each document becomes that document's icon. Remember, rendering thumbnails is hard work for your computer, so use this view only when you really need it.
