Icons view displays a thumbnail preview of the contents of a file (or an icon if no preview is available). The five views are icons, list, details, tiles and content, each of which is useful in its own way. Windows 7 lets you choose any of five different ways of displaying files, known as file views. You can alter many of these on the fly by typing in a new value and pressing Enter or clicking the Save button.
The details pane displays file properties.
