Solve : Four-Picture Icon View in Windows 7??

1.	Solve : Four-Picture Icon View in Windows 7??
Answer» I recently purchased a laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed. Due to changes in the interface, I can't seem to figure out how to make the Windows-XP-esque four-picture icon view for some photo albums. Is there anyway to do this? I do not mean the icon view that looks like an open folder with certain files stuffed into it. But the folder imposed with four pictures from inside the folder. Is there a way to get that view in Windows 7? SORRY for such an ELEMENTARY question, but I'm not used to Windows 7 and I wasn't able to find information about it in an internet search made earlier. Thank you kindly.I think on Win 7 that certain thumbnail view/preview feature is removed. Instead you could customize by right-clicking folder, Properties - Customize tab - Folder Pictures then choose a file or image WITHIN the folder.
