Thanks for the link.

I also found this on another website:

regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\shimgvw.dll,

This did work and now everything is back to normal!!

Thanks Again!!

| This just happened to me too.
|
| I still get thumbnail pictures for most, if not all movie files, pdf files,
| and html files.
|
| But my jpg, tif, gif, and others only show a large icon of the program that
| they will open with by default.
|
| All worked one day and then the next NoShow :-(
|
| Any help here would be appreciated!
|
| Thanks!
