Thumbnail view

In the my pictures folder the thumbnail view no longer
displays the actual image...just the icon.I've searched
the knowledge base without any working results.Any ideas?

Doug Knox has a fix.

If you've lost the ability to display thumbnails of your pictures then
this is possibly due to some of the necessary registry entries having been
damaged, often as a result of installing a graphics application or viewer
such as Photoshop or ACDSee,

To fix this, enter the following from a command prompt such as Start |
Run:

REGSVR32 THUMBVW.DLL

and press enter. Hopefully this should re-register thumbvw.dll and add
back the necessary missing registry entries. If not post back as there
are other fixes available but this one seems to fix the problem for most
users.
