HTML thumbnails

[JC Contreras]

Hi Everyone,

Do you know a way to re-enable HTML files thumbnail
generation in Win XP SP1? ... I have just migrated from
Win2k to XP and I read that Microsoft "by design" disabled
this feature in WinXP SP1 (Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - 327833). I'm a web designer and the HTML
thumnail view feature was really handy on my day to day
activities.

Thanks in advance,

JC

Hi,
1.. Click on "CONTROL PANEL" from the Start Menu.
2.. Click on "FOLDER OPTIONS" in the Control Panel.
3.. Click the view tab
4.. Finally - Uncheck the "DO NOT CACHE THUMBNAILS" box and then click
APPLY.

Here is a registry patch that should implement it: Make the following,
after - - start and before - - end into a file by cut/paste to NotePad.
Make sure there is a blank line at the end. Save as "Patch.reg" then
right-click on this file and take Merge to enter it into the registry.

- - start
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\PersistentHandler]
@="{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\PersistentHandler]
@="{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}"
