Re: Filmstrip, Thumbnails, Desktop Image, Active Desktop: all missing

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

For Problem 1, type these commands in Start/Run dialog:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll

When I right click on my desktop, Active Desktop is no longer an option 

I don't think such an option appears in the menu in XP.

I was trying to clean a virus from my machine, and ever since:
- Explorer will not display thumbnails or the filmstrip (even when the
option is selected from the View menu)
- I have a .jpg file selected as my desktop image but it only shows up when
my laptop is shutting down
- When I right click on my desktop, Active Desktop is no longer an option

I'm on XP SP2, IE v. 6.0.2900
