Lost Picture Thumbnails

[Guest]

I recentely lost the ability to display picture thumbnails on my computer. I
don't know if it's the fact that I had to delete Windows Picture Viewer from
my hard drive because of a virus attack. If anyone out there knows of what
happened or of how I go about getting these thumbnails back, please let me
know.

Type or paste the following line into the Start | Run box and click OK...

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

Generic icon is displayed for a picture file when in Thumbnail view
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/imagethumb.htm

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer = shimgvw.dll

Hope this helps. Let us know.
