Title: Thumbnails of Image files in Win Explorer Lost
Post by: Jim_Knoppow on September 06, 2004, 10:28:34 AM

I used to be able, in web page view, see a thumbnail
of an image file, (bmp and tif anyway), in the left hand
panel just under the file info section.

Now, for some reason, that feature has gone away.
I can still pick thumbnail view and see thumbnails for
the icons for bmps, but what I had was the ability to have the file names
in a list, but when I clicked on one, it's image would pop
up in that left hand pane.

I can't remember how I got it to work that way; does anyone
know how to get that feature back?

Thanks so much.

Merlin_2,

Thanks so much for your try at helping me on my lost
previews in Explorer. I went to the web page you
hyperlinked for me, and I tried the download utility,
and when that didn't work, edited the registry myself.

There must be something else wrong, because it still
doesn't work, but I appreciate the heck and gone out
of your attempt, and it probably  puts me one step
closer to the solution.

Again, thank you so much Merlin_2.

I will try those two methods of restoring my
preview thumbnail mode that you suggested and let
you know ...
