My Pictures folder

[Russell]

Something went wrong with the pictures in my "My Pictures"
folder. They are being displayed as icons instead of
thumbnails. The icons that are displayed are those of the
programs that I have tried to change the "Opens With"
screen to. I am curious as to what the original setting is
for ME, so that I can see them as thumbnails again. I have
tried all that I can. Please help. TIA

Thumbnails problem:
It appears that you when you installed your graphics applications they damaged
some of the necessary registry entries used to produce thumbnails.

To fix the thumbnail problem, enter the following from a command prompt such
as Start | Run:

REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL

and press enter. This should re-register thumbvw.dll and hopefully add back
the necessary missing registry entries.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can see my pictures
again without having to click on them. I saved the command
in a notebook file in case it happens again. Then all I'll
have to do is cut & paste. You would not believe the
number of people I have asked about this. Thanks again.
