The /u is for unregister which means DISABLE.
To reverse....
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
[[You can use the Regsvr32 tool (Regsvr32.exe) to register and
unregister object linking and embedding (OLE) controls such as
dynamic-link library (DLL) or ActiveX Controls (OCX) files that are
self-registerable.]] [[When you use Regsvr32.exe, it attempts to
load the component and call its DLLSelfRegister function. If this
attempt is successful, Regsvr32.exe displays a dialog indicating
success. If the attempt is unsuccessful, Regsvr32.exe returns an
error message, which may include a Win32 error code.]]

which makes me aprehensive (based on a past screwup which caused
no end of problems.

BTW, That dll appears in several places in the registry

I can no longer preview image files in Windows Explorer or My
Computer.
The right-click menu no longer contains that selection.
How can I regain/restore that capability?
Thank You
