thumbnails have disappeared in My Pictures folders

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2.

When I use Windows Explorer or when i want to attach a photo in Outlook
2003, the thumbnails of photos that used to appear no longer do. I am
looking in folders that are all subdirectories of My Pictures folder. I did
a search in Google Groups to see if this had been asked before, but i didn't
understand the replies that were given. I have never edited my registry, so
I don't know what was being suggested.

I should add that the folders icon in My Pictures still work, i.e., they
show four small photographs contained in the folder itself. (Is there a way
to change this, so that it only shows one photo?)

Many thanks in advance.

Bill
