Can see thumbnails in windows Explorer

[DianaH]

I cannot see thumbnails of gifs, jpgs, or png's in Windows
Explorer.

I've switched between Microsoft Imaging and Microsoft's
Image Previewer and then to Microsoft Photo Editor. Each
of these viewers will open any of the files, but I never
see thumbnails.

Most of the files I'm trying to preview are on a server,
however, I get the same results when I try to view local
files.

Is there a setting a file or the registry that I need to
change to enable thumbnail display.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Jerold, Jerold, Jerold ... that is fantastic. It worked.
At first I wasn't sure how to enter it. So, I opened
notepad and pasted the text into it ... saved as
thumbnail.reg (text file), closed it and double-clicked,
as instructed and it merged the info into the registry. I
can even see my CorelDraw graphic thumbnails. Excellent,
Excellent, Excellent. I'm cheering in the the office ...
others think I've lost it (LOL), but I'm so excited to
have this fixed.

Thank you soooooo much!
