HTML Thumbnail view after SP1

[Vince]

I know Service Pack 1 removed the ability to preview HTML
pages in thumbnail view, but how can I get this back? Is
it a simple matter of finding the right CLSID to add back
to the shellex on the HTML-type files?

Any advice greatly appreciated. I loved that feature.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.htm\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A
0B-00C04FC2D6C1}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.html\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9
A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}

In the right pane, set the Default value to
{EAB841A0-9550-11cf-8C16-00805F1408F3}

If the Shellex or {BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1} subkeys don't
exist, you may need to add them manually.
