How do I view all Pictures in a folder?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

To view all pictures in a specific folder on your computer, you can follow these steps:

1. Begin by opening File Explorer. You can do this by clicking on the File Explorer icon in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, or by pressing the Windows key and E key together.

2. Once File Explorer is open, you will see a navigation pane on the left-hand side. Locate and click on “This PC” to view all the drives and folders on your computer.

3. In the main window of File Explorer, you will now see a list of all your drives and folders. Navigate to the folder where your pictures are stored. You can do this by double-clicking on the relevant drives and folders to expand them.

4. Once you have located the folder containing your pictures, you can simply click on it to view its contents. However, if the folder contains a large number of files, it may take a few moments for the contents to load.

5. By default, File Explorer will display all the files in the selected folder, including pictures, videos, documents, etc. To filter the view and show only pictures, you can use the search bar at the top right of the File Explorer window.

6. In the search bar, type “kind:picture” (without quotes) and press Enter. This will filter the view and display only picture files within the folder. Note that it may take a few moments for the search results to load, especially if the folder contains a large number of files.

7. After the search results are displayed, you can scroll through the list to view all the pictures within the folder. You can also use the thumbnail view or the details view to customize how the pictures are displayed.

It’s worth mentioning that the steps above are specific to Windows operating systems. If you are using a different operating system, the process may vary slightly.

In my personal experience, this method has been the most effective and convenient way to view all pictures within a folder. It allows you to quickly filter out non-picture files and focus solely on the images you are interested in. Additionally, the search functionality in File Explorer makes it easy to locate specific pictures within a large folder, saving you time and effort.

Viewing all pictures in a folder is a straightforward process using File Explorer on Windows. Just follow the steps outlined above, and you’ll be able to browse through your pictures effortlessly.
