If you burn a lot of photos onto disks, it can be difficult to tell which photo is on which disk (especially if the photo name is RIMG0263.jpg). That’s where XP’s Thumbnails feature comes into play to save the day.

When you have the photos burned onto a disk, run the disk on your PC and when the pictures appear in Windows Explorer, go to “thumbnails” view in the “View” menu. You will then have thumbnails of each photo along with the photo name underneath. Then open up a screen capture program such as SnagIt or IrfanView , make a screen capture and print out the page.

Give the disk a reference number then write the reference number on the printed sheet of thumbnails. You now have a reference guide as to which photo is on which disk.
