Shell Image View Control in System32

[Guest]

What I am trying to do is to open .PNG image files. They no longer open in
Internet
Explorer, but will open locally on my old MGI imaging program if I import
the file first... Odd that they will not open directly, because MGI gives me
an error message when I attempt to do so! FWIW, the "Choose Program" applet
no longer displays on the *shift-right click* command. While we're at it,
whatever happened to good old "QuickView"?
The "Choose Program" applet does not display when I right click my mouse on
any
file--images, texts, scripts, programs, apps, etc., on my older IBM desktop
PC from 1999. When I do, I get the following error message:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
Which program or .dll will work to display the "choose program" applet? I
have a feeling that I need to know the exact Viewer .dll or program file
name. Any suggestions? BTW, I had been using Irfanview, but deleted the
program to allow more disk space, when this problem occured. There are
fragments of Irfanview files I am still deleting from the un-install.
Also, I checked my WindowsXP notebook to compare, and tried using the
shimgvw.dll (Shell Image View Control) in System32, but this older PC I'm
having trouble with came back with the above error message. Also, what is
the correct syntax to use?
Running:
OS=Windows 2000 Pro, Ver: 5, sp4 (upgraded from Win98se)

Hi Chip,

Did you delete or un-install infra-view? You should always use the
Add/Remove Programs applet for this as infa view makes file associations in
the registry.

I would suggest that you re-install infa-view, it has a small footprint and
is a powerful imaging tool.

The Shell Image View Control is not a stand-alone program that you can use
to view images. It is an ActiveX control that is used by the Shell (Windows
Explorer) to display image thumbnails.

If you are running out of disk space you may consider a hard disk upgrade to
a larger size or adding a second hard disk. $1US per Gig is soooo cheap! (I
remember when it was $100/meg)

Hi Chip

Try the following and see if it will help:

First, check the Add/Remove Programs to see that the program you need is
installed.

Go to Windows Explorer (not IE) and navigate to any program file you need to
re-associate
Right click on the file and select open with
There should be a program file that appears in the Recommended Programs for
this file. Highlight it and then check the box that says "Always use
selected program to open this kind of file"

If that file is not listed, then you will need to add it to the list.

While still in Windows Explorer, click on Tools>Folder Options.File Types
Scroll down the list on the right and see of there is a file extension that
you need and see what is referenced as the associated program. If there is
a program other than the correct one for the extension, then you will need
to change it to the correct program. To do this, you will need to highlight
the file extension then click the Change button. If the program is not in
this list, then you will need to click the Browse button to find the correct
program.

Navigate to the program folder in Program Files, find and highlight the
program .exe file, then click the Open tab. This will set the correct
program to open your file with. Then click the box that says "Always use
selected program to open this kind of file" and OK out.

See it that will reset the file association for the files. If not, then
uninstall the necessary program from the Add/Remove programs and reinstall
it to re-establish the association.

If still no joy try the following:

Start > Run > type Regedit in the window
First, back up your Registry
Then navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\ContentType\Image\png
In the right pane you will see the 'Extension' value is likely to be png.
If the extension listed is the correct extension then this isn't the
solution. If it is other than png, double click on the word 'Extension' and
change it to png
Save, close the Registry Editor and check to see if this has resolved the
problem.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestions. I did use un-install in Add/Remove Programs in
Control Panel for deleting Irfanview. I will try Jan's tips, and if all else
fails,
I will just re-install the Irfanview program.
G'day, Chip

 

[Guest]

Hi Jan -- Wow, thanks for the gr8 detailed information!!
Unfortunately, the "Choose Program" applet still will not display
on the right click "open with" command option ....
Changing the Registry setting helped for displaying .PNG images.
However, the Recommended Programs applet does not open on
the right click command. Probably Irfanview gobbled it up
when I un-installed it...~lol, lol~.

Hi Chip

Also...did you clear the Temporary Internet Files? Often this is the cause
of image problems with IE.
Clearing the Temporary Internet Cache -
Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Note: Any links listed in your Favorites (including any pages you saved for
offline viewing) will not be deleted when the History is cleared normally.
Therefore, you must also check the box next to Delete offline files on the
dialog box as well when you clear the Temp Files to be sure all files are
deleted

also.

IE is very hard on video drives. Try updating yours and see if that helps:

Find the information on your video driver. Then go to the website for mfg.

may also be a Update Driver button on the dialog box you can use to go

also........

Try reducing hardware acceleration:
Right click on the Desktop on an open area,

Move the slider back to the left a little and test to see if that helps.
Try it at increments until you get all the way to the left end to see if
that helps.


Hope this helps.
