jpg file viewing as thumbnail

[Guest]

when viewing .jpg files as thumbnail, the .jpg files appear as a square box with a jpg logo at the center
it worked before but somehow it goes wrong. my bmp files can be viewed as thumbnail
I tried to run "regsvr32 thumbvw.dll", but didn't work

In the registry you want this:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}
(default)
REG_SZ
{7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC}

Of course this assumes:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
(default)
REG_SZ
jpegfile

It gets broken when installed image software changes the above to itself (away from jpegfile).

Dunno if you have found a solution yet, but when I had the same problem, I
located the solution here:

I did the same process for .gif files, as they too stopped showing. I had
recently reinstalled Office 2K, and apparently it was something related to
that, and PhotoEd somehow not being installed correctly. Not sure why, since
it worked fine, but who knows? In any event, the process did indeed fix this
issue.
