How to fix the Windows Graphics
"thumb nails" on the left side of the window
It is handy to be able to view the "thumbnail" graphics on the left side of
the windows. But for some reason, they may no longer show up. Here
is how to fix it.
- Click Start, click Run, type
regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Locate and click the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg registry key.
- Right-click the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg registry key,
point to New, and then click Key. Name the
new key ShellEx.
- Right-click the ShellEx registry key that you created,
point to New, and then click Key. Name the
new key {BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}.
Note that the { } brackets are necessary.
- Click the {BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1} registry
key that you created, right-click the Default value in the
right pane, click Modify, and then type the following value
data in the Value data box:
{7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC}
What all those numbers mean, who knows. But
it works.
