Kelly, need advice on .jpg thumbnail display issue...

[George]

Dear kelly,

I had tried your Tweak 17 for displaying .jpg files on my
desktop as thumbnails and found that .jpg was not a
selectable filetype.

I have looked at my friends machine which does display
the .jpg's as thumbnails and here is what I have found in
his registry:

Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/JPEGFILE/DEFAULTICON we have

name type
ab Default REG_SZ

data
C:\program files\macromedia\fireworksMX\fireworks.exe,7

So I guess it would be safe to assume that his computer
displays thumbs because he installed Macromedia
fireworksMX?

Thanks,

George.

Typically, .jpg files are encoded in a three-channel, RGB format. It is
possible, in some programs, to create .jpg files that are encoded in four-
channel, CMYK color format. Windows is unable to display .jpg files that
are not in three-channel, RGB color format.
