No title name under folder
My pc has just decided to not show the title of the folder whilst in thumbnail view ?
I have now a screen of folders but no title below them ?
If i switch to icon view the titles are then shown.
This issue is not the same throughout my pc.
I mean in some folder the title is shown as normal when in thumbnail view but in some other folders there is nothing.
Not sure what to make of this as never had a issue like this before.

Any help would be very nice.
Thanks

Try Turning thumbnails off, then turn it back on again while holding down the shift key. Repeat to remove the action.

It one of those undocumented features that lets you turn off the title for thumbnails. Some people just want to see the pictures, not the titles. Plus it lets you get an extra row or three on the screen.
