Image dimension box has disapeared in folder view of photographs
Win XP.
I need to have the Dimensions of height and width of pictures when viewing a foder with pictures in.
Viewing a folder with photographs and clicking on 'VIEW' then 'CHOSE DETAILS' used to have a long list of check boxes and one of them was 'DIMENSIONS'.
Now I only have 8 check boxes and 'Dimensions' is not there.
How do I get back the list of check boxes?
Cheers.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Using Regedit, create this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\s
You do not need to set any value - just create the key.
You will probably need to reboot after that, or at least restart the EXPLORER process.

I created the new key and rebooted but problem still there.
Don't understand the 1.37pm comment.
Do I add all these strings to Column handler?

Hi Malcolm
I realise this question is closed and that sjklein42 hit the nail right on the head with a perfect answer.
Just for future reference though, if you ever have similar loss of functionality or things go a little strange with Windows Explorer and you aren't sure of exactly which registry keys have been affected, the issues can very often be resolved by re-registering the main "shell DLL" and thereby restoring the settings:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\shell3
contains a great many of the resources that make Windows Explorer display and behave as it does, and one of those resources is a great big *.INF file containing nearly 2500 lines of default Registry settings which are written back to the registry when the DLL is re-registered. Amongst them are the "Column Handlers" referred to in sjklein42's *.REG file.
To re-register a DLL file you call "C:\Windows\System32\regsv
regsvr32 shell32.dll
You are given prompts and notified of success using regsvr32.exe this way.
This is just for additional info.
By the way, I was just checking out the red Corvette Stingray 7.5L on your site and wishing I could afford it. As a teenager I used to drool over my teacher's yellow '69 Daytona just like This One.

If your teacher still has the 69 Daytona it must be worth a lot by now.
