no more preview of jpg in explorer

Probably because I've installed and uninstalled an equivalent shareware program, it is not possible anymore to preview thumbnails of jpg files in Explorer when in 'View as Web page' mode.
Is there a way to reset this feature?
Thanks.

Try this first:
When you enable Thumbnail view for your folders and configure Windows Explorer or My Computer to be viewed as a Web page, the Thumbnail images for some file types may not be displayed. This behavior can occur if you remove and re-create the file association for a file type (when you install another application that registeres that file type). The registry entry used by the Windows Desktop Update component to display Thumbnail images is not updated properly when you re-create the file association (thus, if you uninstall an application which took over a files association, it will not be restored).

To fix this:

Click Start > Run, and type the following command in the Open box:

regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll - If you have Internet Explorer 4 installed

regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll - If you have Internet Explorer 5 installed

(and press Enter).

Sorry, but this did not work.
I have IE 5, and ran the patch you suggested, restarted the computer, but still no jpg thumbnails appearing in Windows Explorer Web view.
