How to Customize Your Pictures Folders in Windows

Since digital cameras became so affordable, almost everybody has a lot of digital memories to archive. If you are a Windows user, and you set your Windows Explorer view to Thumbnails, then you are familiar with photo folders displaying 4 pictures from inside, like in the following picture (I enlarged my thumbnails, and this is how you can do it, too).

This is how to do it:
1. Right click on the folder thumbnail.
