I have two PCs, both running W2K Build 2195 (i.e. SP4 or whatever).

On one PC, Win Explorer behaves fine:

- Menu item "View" lists Large Icons, Small Icons, List, Details, and
Thumbnails.
- Selecting Thumbnail works just fine: thumbs.db gets created and .JPG
file entries display TNs.
- IE 5.5 is installed.

On the other PC, thumbnail capability is completely absent:

- "View" has only Large Icons, Small Icons, List, and Details.
- Newsnet experts say to R-click on a folder, and on the context
menu's General tab, activate a "Thumbnail checkbox". There is NO such
checkbox. The only checkboxes are Read-Only and Hidden.
- I also tried Run-ning that install-THUMBVW.DLL thing and Restart-ed
the system. No dice.
- IE 6 is installed.

(TweakUI is installed on both systems--altho' its UI has no About, so
don't know what version it is.)

So what's the problem? Some difference in IE 6 vs.5.5?

Thanks much.
