A well-hidden feature in Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 makes it easier to manage those files by letting you see them in Thumbnails view, with a miniature version of each image appearing in a box within the Explorer window.
If you use Windows Me or Windows 2000, open the folder that contains the photos and choose View, Thumbnails.
This choice isn't available in Windows 98, however, until you take a preliminary step. Open an Explorer window and find the icon for the folder that contains your pictures. Right-click and choose Properties. On the General tab, check the Enable thumbnail view box. Click OK to close the dialog box.
Now you can open the folder window and choose Thumbnails from the View menu.
