hey Jo Ann, remove the extensions, that's what is associating your other files with QT. QT is notorious for taking over file extensions, just like Real Player is. Hi Suzanne, I tried your suggestion, but they are still showing as Quick Time files. Whatever I was using before showed all the pics as open thumbnails and they were much easier to identify. This is the feature I would like to have back. I am running ME.
