Hi All

 

Maybe someone has run into this problem before. While helping a friend

organize pictures on her computer we did an email of a picture she had

in the My Pictures tab. After the email was sent her picture was no

longer a thumbnail it changed to an Icon and I cant get it to go back

to a thumbnail. The file name remains the same except for .jpeg is now

at the end of the file name.

 

Thanks for the help

Steve

    Go to the View menu in "My Computer" for that "My Pictures" folder. Go to

    'thumbnails'

    Hi sjkline,

     

    Open the Run dialog box and type:

     

    regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

     

    This should show you the thumbnail now. If it does not then go to My

    Pictures folder, click the View menu to select Thumbnails.

    Just for the hell of it, I tried and used "Send To" without any

    ill effects. What you report is most intriguing. If you fix it

    or find out what happened I'd like to know about.

    Hi sjkline@chartermi.net,

     

    If you right-click on the picture to select "Refresh Thumbnail" while

    in thumbnail mode then what happens?
