In Win2K. Since I install Adobe and choose to open all pictures with Adobe, when I open My Pictures folder, I can't see my thumbnails anymore??? I just see the Adobe icon instead. This may look dumb but can someone help on how to get it back the way he was before. Thanks guys

Enter "My Pictures" folder and right click somewhere in the background (white area) and select "View/Thumbnails" that should do it. Hope this help. :-)

Oooh yeah - a curly one. Same thing happened to me. Managed to figure it out. Try this. Run "regedit" from the Start -> Run menu. Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Find an extension associated with a picture format (eg: .bmp, .jpg, .tif, .gif etc etc). Check that the following is listed: 1. There should be a sub folder (key) under the picture extension called ShellEx. 2. There should be a sub-folder (key) under the ShellEx folder called: {BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1} 3. The Default value for this folder (Key) (in the right hand panel) should be: {1AEB1360-5AFC-11d0-B806-00C04FD706EC}. This sounds ludicrous I know but I found out the hard way by deleting a picture file association from the FILE TYPES menu in Windows Explorer and created a new file association to use with LView Pro thus losing my thumbnails. By creating a new file association you automatically lose the above-mentioned registry keys.
