Photos showing up as the PSE icon

NEED HELP ASAP!  After I edit my photos and save them for the web, all the pics now shoe up as the Blue PSE icon instead of the actual pic.  So when I search a folder for one of the pics, all I see are those blue icons.  The file names I assigned to all the pics are there but I am unable to see the actual pic.  The pic will open up if I click on it but I don't want to have to click on each PSE icon to see the pic.  How do I fix this problem so I can see all of the actual pics when I open the folder to view them?

    What operating system and version of photoshop elements are you using?

    What file format are you saving as?

    When I locate a .jpg file, the files appear as the image I saved,  So when I need to look for a certain pic, I can easily find it.  But, for the last few weeks, the .jpg files have been showing up as a thumbnail of the PSE icon as pictured below.  This makes it very difficult when I'm looking in a folder full of .jpgs and all I see are the blue PSE icons.  When I click on any given PSE icon within one of my photo folders, it opens up just fine displaying the actual photo.  When I save a .jpg, how do I get the actual thumbnail of the actual pic to show up vs the PSE blue icon?  Is it some kind of glitch with the software or is it something I did? 

    I have WINDOWS 10, am using PSE 14, and my pics are saved as jpgs or gifs.

    Can you give a sample of a file name you want to apply? 

    For instance you can't have two '.' in the name like in 'photo.series.jpg'
