If you cannot do the same with the .jpg and the .gif files as you did with the .bmp ones, I would suggest getting a graphics program that will convert your .bmp files to .gif and .jpg. I think PaintBrush can display .gif files and all you have to do is save it as a .bmp file. Otherwise, a graphics program like &quot;Graphics Workshop&quot; can convert between graphic file types.<br />

I have SEVERAL applications that can open up BMP JPEG and practically every other graphics format. What I want is not an application to OPEN the files, but I want for Windows95 itself, when I am looking through my HD with the WIndows Explorer to show, in place of the regular icon it shows for GIF and JPG files, a miniature of the picture file. Like I said, I know how to get Windows to do this with BMP files already.<br />

I know how to get Win95 to display BMP icons as a miniature version of the picture itself - I do this by editing the value of the &quot;DefaultIcon&quot; field in the &quot;Paint.Picture&quot; field in the registry (Paint.Picture is the type that .bmp is set to).<br />
