Issue: Lost Thumbnail View Not sure of the cause but the effect is in
Windows 2000 (SP4) when I click on a folder containing pictures (.gif or
jpg etc) I used to see/view a thumbnail of that image and in web view I
could see all the details of that item along with a thumbnail. Now I only
see an icon in the main view and no image in the folder view. Poking
around a bit I've seen a few references hinting that maybe Adobe Photoshop
or Elements 2(I have both) may have hijacked the file associations. So far
I've tried the following;

Run REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL

Run regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll

Reinstall Windows 2000 SP4

Reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Elements V2

No go! Any suggestions or other places to look?
