Left Pane Icon Missing
Hello,
I have a very simple problem. I've searched the web but I couldn't find an answer. You know in Windows 98, when you select a folder (and if "View as Web Page" is selected) you get informantion about the folder etc. On the left pane it says "Select an item to view it description". Right above that it says My Computer, and above that there should be an icon of My Computer (which I'm missing). For example, when I open "My Computer", a window appears and on the left pane you also see a icon (picture) of My Computer. That icon is missing. And instead of the icon, there is a flash object ( I think it's a flash object, cause it has a triangle, circle and a square on it) that usually appears on shockwave flash related web sites. Now what is this doing here ? Where's the icon on the left pane? How do I fix it? Regards, Mike |

First, try this:
Click StartRun, type: REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL click OK. Click StartRun, type: REGSVR32 WEBVW.DLL click OK. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Mike" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work.
I also tried extracting the mycomp.htt file, but that didn't work either. How do I fix this simple thing? The same thing happens with Printer, Control Panel etc. Not just My Computer. What is responsible for the viewing of that icon in the left pane, in win98. And why is there a flash object. Regards, Mike |

Forgot to mention in my previous post.
When I did Start-Run: REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL REGSVR32 WEBVW.DLL a message box appeared saying that it succeeded. But this didn't fix my problem. Just thought I should clarify that. Regards, Mike |

Where do you see a Flash object?
I am trying to remember details about this issue, but since I do not ever use View As Web Page in Win98, this is not something that stayed in my memory. IIRC, the .htt files and the .css file in the Windows\Web folder are responsible for calling the icon for that view. The icon that appears is the icon that is described in the Registry for each of those items....My Computer, Control Panel, and so forth. If you use a theme, the icon will be the one used by that theme. (For example, if you use the Space theme, My Computer on your desktop will be a pic of earth from space, and that is also what will be displayed in Web View for the My Computer window). Do the icons for those items (My Computer, Control Panel, etc.) appear correctly on your Desktop, or elsewhere, such as the Control Panel icon in My Computer? Do you have any third-party themes or folder customizations installed? Have you tried opening the folders in question, clicking View menu Customize, select Remove Customization, and following the prompts? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Mike" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your reply Glee.
The flash object (it contains a triangle, circle, square) appears right where there should be the icon (which is above the text My Computer, or Control Panel (which is above "Select an item to view its description")). The items I described (My Computer) do appear on the desktop and the other (Control Panel etc) does appear in My Computer. And as you said with changing desktop themes the icon in (My Computer, Control Panel, etc.) changes as well. I changed the desktop theme, but since their is no image, I wouldn't see a difference (regarding the icon). I don't have third-party themes or folder customizations installed. I haven't customized any folders, but I did check that. They can't be customized on their own anyway right. I appreciate your input and look forward to your reply. Regards, Mike |

Have you tried letting Tweak UI repair your icons?

... Thanks for your reply Glee. The flash object (it contains a triangle, circle, square) appears right where there should be the icon (which is above the text My Computer, or Control Panel (which is above "Select an item to view its description")). That's not a Flash Object, that's merely the generic icon that is displayed when an image is called but not found. The items I described (My Computer) do appear on the desktop and the other (Control Panel etc) does appear in My Computer. And as you said with changing desktop themes the icon in (My Computer, Control Panel, etc.) changes as well.

I haven't customized any folders, but I did check that. They can't be customized on their own anyway right. ? Folders can be customised using the option on the folder's View menu, as well as in Windows explorer. However, I don't think that customisation includes the icon in the corner. I appreciate your input and look forward to your reply. As I said, since I do not use View as Web Page at all, I don't have a lot to suggest. You might try replacing all the .htt files in the Windows\Web folder with fresh copies extracted from the .cab files on the Win98 CD. I don't have a lot of time to investigate this right now, but will ask some of the old hands formerly from this group in years past, and see if anyone knows definitively. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm |
