Thumbnail View option gone AWOL

Hi, Mike,

You're welcome. Thanks for isolating the one key for the Thumbnail
View. It saved me some time as well. Your post of the full key matches
all that "graffster" referred to in the X-Setup forum. It's nice to
have this view restored.

I've learned a lot in this forum thanks to your expertise and that of
the other MVPs who post here.

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Tom. It was your post listing what also was missing (New, Find &
Sharing) that told me which key was causing the problem and it took just
a couple of tests to check out which specifically was the key/value set
used to enable thumbnail view. I've just posted the entire key as
Charles has now mentioned his having lost the other functions you
mentioned in your post.

Regards - and thanks again for mentioning all that was missing and thus
saving me some time finding which of several keys could have been the
cause of the thumbnail problem.

Mike can you tell me how to go about merging this file? I'm not
used to messing with the registry.

| 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.

If you haven't changed the default action for a reg file then double
clicking a reg file will merge it with the registry, otherwise select the
file, right click and choose merge from the menu. There's no need to
manually edit the registry or to use regedit.

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?)

I won't disagree with you there Noel, and the same can be said for you.

I'm very definitely an also-ran in these stakes, Joan - fumble-fingering my
way around the various sources to find things, while Mike has the background
knowledge to be able to go to the nub of the matter straight away.

Thanks for the compliment, though - I'm always receptive to flattery!g
