Windows Explorer Graphics View

[ppearce]

Normally, when I view the contents of a Folder which contains JPEG files, the files pop up as Thumbnails. All of a sudden, they are not.
I have set View/Thumbnails, and I have associated JPEG files with Irfanview. (did this over a year ago)
The only thing I can think of that might cause a conflict is that I have installed Photoshop 7.0, and when I invoke it's File Browser, I do get thumbnails of my graphic files.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks.
Phil

Have you set the View menu in Explorer to Thumbnails (and not Icons or Details)? If you want all your folders to show the same thing go to Tool>Folder Options>View and hit the "Like Current Folder" button in the Folder Views frame.

Yes, the View Menu has been set to Thumbnails. Files of .gif or .bmp extension do show up as a thumbnail, but not JPG or JPEG. Strange.

It will require a bit of registry editing, according to this tip:

I believe this should be possible in Explorer's file types menu, just add the "%1" to the end of the edit command in the advanced Edit properties.
