WMF/JPEG Thumbnails won't show
I am unable to get my hundreds of pieces of wmf & jpeg clipart pieces to show as thumbnails, only as a generic program file (Usually Paintbrush). My previous three computers had no problems with the clipart. I have: - Unchecked "always show as icons.." - Messed with folder options - Spent 35 minutes on remote assist with Dell- they say Vista sees these files as some sort of spyware. - Done the Vista Forum tutorials for turning thumbnails on/off - Tried changing the registry I need to be able to quickly see what all the theumbnails are and not have to click individually. Any advice would be appreciated. -- pandora

Any advice would be appreciated. =================================== Have a look at the following article: Why can I not view the thumbnails for WMF files in Vista like I was able to in Windows XP? http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=25399 You should be able to view your .wmf thumbs with the freeware IrfanView. Once you have the program downloaded and installed open it and go to...File / Thumbnails...(or just type T ) then browse to the files you wish to view. IrfanView Graphic Viewer http://www.software.com/irfanview (get the plug-ins too) http://www.software.com/irfanview-plugin As for the JPEG thumbs...maybe the following link will be useful: File association fixes for Windows Vista http://tinyurl.com/2xsewp or... http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html -- John Inzer MS Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
