Hi guys: I've been having a weird problem for some days now. I have Win2000 Sp3, and for some reason my "thumbnail views" don't work anymore. I have no idea what I changed, if anything. Now, what's even more strange is that thumbnails work on Bmp files, but not with Jpegs . I mean, what the . . . Anyways, I've tried tinkering with Window's folder options and no luck. Anyone has any ideas on how I can get my thumbnails back? They were working fine a week ago. Thanks for your time.
Totally wild guess, but if you've got a backup copy of the registry available, try reinstalling it and see if that restores the thumbnails.
Maybe you do. I know that under XP there is a feature called System Restore that automatically saves copies of the registry. I don't know if there is a similiar system for 2000 but it's probably worth having a look.
No, there isn't an automatic feature of this nature in any versions of Windows besides ME and XP. Even so, a complete registry restore is a drastic step that's likely to cause more harm than good.
Hey guys, I found the answer thanks to a friend that had the same problem with 2000. The solution was kind of . . . complicated, to me at least. But you did have to go into the registry. It seems to be a bug in Win2K and thank God Microsoft is aware of it. If you're interested in the solution here's is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;243401 Anyways, thank you both for your input .
