Re: Force full image file names in XP

Easy to do.
Open the folder, select details for the view.
Look at the columns above the file names.
The first column is Name. The second one is Size. The third is Type image.
Between these columns headings name there is a little separator, it looks
like this: |
You just place your mouse pointer over it and then you move it to the right
to expand the column name until you see everything you want for the name of
the file.
You can select the size you want to display for any column by just using
your mouse to move the column separator.
