Thumbnails & File Previews
When I try to view my folders through my computer as a web page. I used to see a preview of the file contents on the left but recently this has not been occuring with jpgs and gifs I have created with microsoft Photo Editor. I'm now only getting file previews of .bmp .txt and .html. Also when I switch my view to thumbnails I only see thumbnails of my bitmaps.
I think something happen to the file type association when I had to reinstall Photo Editor.
I can't get things back the way they were. Please tell me if there any particular settings to make this work again.

If you don't have TweakUI on your hard drive, copy the following files from the Windows98 CD:
in the tools/reskit/powertoys directory,
there are 4 files that begin with TWEAK,
copy them to your c:\windows directory
right click on TWEAKUI.INF and choose Install
Once it's installed, in the Control Panel, click on TWEAKUI, go to the REPAIR tab, and in the dropdown box, select Repair File Associations.
Reboot and see if things are better.
If not, it is my experience that both NORTON UTILITIES and NUTS & BOLTS are pretty good at restoring File Associations
you can download demos of either of those to fix your problem!

Here's a program you might like (not associated in any way, just use it everyday)--
Jet Photo Shell from http://www.cowon.com/engdefault.htm
The icons actually appear as the pictures they are, and right clicking will give you a slightly larger view of them. I love this program.

I tried the TweakUI suggestion but it didn't solve my problem.
If you have Internet Explorer 5.0 go to: Start-Run then type:
"regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll" without the quotes, then OK.
If you have Internet Explorer 4 type:
"regsvr32.exe /i shdocvw.dll"
See if that helps!!
