Thanks to all who responded with suggestions. A reboot helped and the thumbnails did show but it took several seconds for all of them to morph from logo image to thumbnail. A second reboot did the trick. Now when I bring up a file of photos, all the thumbnails pop up immediately! I've learned my lesson to not be lazy about keeping things running correctly. I will now do a weekly reboot of the system to shut down unwanted programs that may be playing in the background. I already learned that about cell phones. If you don't close down the multiple windows that are stacking up during the day, it slows down your phone.

The other consideration is that if your phone was stolen the thief would see all the pages you had been viewing. That could tell him a lot about you. For security, wise to close down all the open pages before leaving home " just in case".

And mentioning security on your phone, as well as any GPS devices, it is wise to put in a fictitious address near your home rather than your actual address. As you say people can know a lot about you from stolen/lost phones, Garmin GPS, or other homing devices. By putting in an address that is similar to yours, you can find your way back to your neighborhood and you will be able to go home from there.
Glad it worked out for you.
I listed a former business address as my home address in my car. That way, if my car is stolen, they won't immediately make it to my house.
