Windows 10 Tip: Print Thumbnails of All Pictures in a Folder Back in the day of film photography, there was something called a contact sheet. A contact sheet was a single print of everything on a roll of film. In the age of digital photography, Windows 10 makes it easy to print a “contact” sheet of thumbnails of all pictures in a folder.

On Windows 10, the easiest way to disable or enable thumbnail previews for files is to use the File Explorer settings. Disable file thumbnails To disable thumbnails, use these steps.
Windows 10 can show Matroska (MKV) thumbnails as standard and has better MP4 support although there are still several video formats that no version of Windows supports out of the box. If the format is not supported your thumbnail will be a standard icon for that file type or a blank icon.
When you open a folder with photos or video files in Microsoft Windows 10 File Explorer, you will normally see thumbnails (reduced-size versions of photos or videos). Thumbnails will appear for almost all common video formats (e.g., MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, and MOV) and image formats (e.g., JPG (JPEG), PNG, GIF, and PNG).

If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and can’t see the thumbnail preview of the PDF files in the file explorer then you would have to enable it within the Acrobat Reader preferences.
