Hi. When I set a folder (My Pictures) to Thumbnail View, all the .bmp
files show thumbnails, but the .gif and .jpg files still show generic
icons. What do I need to do to correct this problem? I'm running
Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4.

Thanks,
Roger Carlson

Hi

The fix is quite simple. I had to do it about 6 months ago. It is just a
case of changing a single entry in the registry.

I am buggered if I can remember what it was. Sorry. However AFAIR it is
ion several web site so do a google on it.

search on bmp and jpg in the registry.

Unfortunately I don't know how to edit the registry. Could someone
please explain exactly what I need to do to fix this. Thanks.

Copy paste the following 4 lines into notepad.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC}"

Save the file as fixjpg.txt
rename the fixjpg.txt file to fixjpg.reg
right-click the fixjpg.reg file and press Merge.
Confirm the update.

I am also running Windows 2000 and recently loaded Microsoft Office 2003 and
now the thumbnail view does not work. I tried the fix and did the regedit
but it still does not work. Any other ideas????

Please don't post the same question independently in multiple groups, and
post don't tack your question onto an unrelated thread. See my reponse in
Win2000.general.
