Left Pane Detail Question

[Kwmani]

I had to format and reinstall XP Pro SP2 and lost the thumbnail preview that
showed at the bottom of the Detail section of the left pane in Windows
Explorer. I remember it is a simple item, but despite my best attempts at
using XP's Help feature I cannot find the information. If anyone can help me,
it would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using windows classic folders? In Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder
options > General tab, under task, tick the radio button "Show common tastk
in folders". Then click the folder icon on the toolbar. The blue pane should
appear on the left to show File and Folder Tasks, Other Places and Details.

Rey,

Thanks for the reply. I have the blue bar in the left pane showing all that
you listed. Under details it can display a thumbnail of a file if it is a
graphic file. I need to turn that feature on and cannot remember how to do it.

Type in the command prompt REGSVR32 WEBVW.DLL and REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL and
your thumbnail views should be restored. If not see if the files are present
in system32 folder.
