   This is a -I guess little known- feature in Windows (at least I know about it   
   in   
   XP but probably functions the same in Vista and W7):   
   when you have a view other than Thumbnail view in explorer and you then shift   
   to   
   Thumbnail view, holding the Shift key will toggle filenames on or off under the   
   thumbnails (depending on how it was previously). This will only work for   
   Thumbnail view, other views are not affected.   
      
   You probably have changed this unintentionally, so to get back to what you were   
   used to: choose for instance Details in the View menu, then hold Shift and   
   choose Thumbnails again. Your filenames should be there again.   
      
   This info can be found online, but is strongly dependent on your search terms   
   in   
   Google.
