The problem of the lost Thumbnails option seems to be because the
following registry entries are removed by nVidia.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ExtShellFolder Views\{8BEBB290-52D0-11d0-B7F4-00C04FD706EC}]
"Attributes"=dword:60000000
"ISV"=hex(2):7b,38,42,45,42,42,32,39,30,2d,35,32,4 4,30,2d,31,31,64,30,2d,42,37,\
46,34,2d,30,30,43,30,34,46,44,37,30,36,45,43,7d,00

For those not using the web interface to these newsgroups I've attached a
zip file containing the missing entries that when merged with the registry
should restore the ability to select Thumbnail view.

I can't test this myself as I haven't list the ability to select thumbnail
mode but deleting the above key does so and restoring the key restores the
ability to select thumbnail view.

Feedback most welcome.

I've been pursuing finding a solution to this in the X-Setup forum
since losing the Thumbnail View after installing the latest nVidia
drivers about three months ago. I also lost the "New" and "Sharing"
commands. One of the posters, graffster, provides a link to set of
registry entries that apparently resolves this. I've not had a
chance to work through checking any of the registry entries to verify
that it restores the Thumbnail View. In looking at the entries, it
appears some of them are specific to restoring the "Find", "Sharing",
and "New" commands. I can post the .reg file with these entries if
you would like to work through them. Here's the link to the thread:

I have attempted to add the regedit information listed with no luck. I must
be doing something wrong. You mentioned a zip file but I can't seem to find
it for access. Can you help?

Perhaps you missed the statement:
"For those not using the web interface to these newsgroups I've attached a
zip file containing the missing entries that when merged with the registry
should restore the ability to select Thumbnail view."

Since you are using the Microsoft web interface to these newsgroup rather
than a "proper" news reader you are unable to access the attachment I
posted. If you wish to receive a copy please mail me.

Hey, I just had a thought...

did Marvel comics ever have a "Medal Man" & was his human alias, a name with
the initials M M by any chance... ?

Don't worry, Charles it arrived by email a couple of days ago - and it's
been *well* deserved for a few years now! ( and if present form is
anything
to go by, then he deserves an upgrade - what's above 1st class?)
