For "As WEB Page" & Thumbnail View...

(1) Are you in "My Computer, View Menu, As WEB Page" view?
(2) I have read (rumor) installing IrfanView will upset it. Have you
done so?
(3) There is this fix...

Repair Image Preview and Thumbnail View in Windows Explorer
....However, I do not know of the implications it may have to IrfanView.

For just Thumbnail View...

(1) You turned it on, by R-Clk any folder in Explorer, Properties,
"Enable thumbnail view". Then, you R-Clkd the R-Pane, View, & selected
"Thumbnail"?

(2) There is a repair for it at...

| I am using Win98SE. When I have opened a folder, I can see the
"thumbnail
| preview" of gif images on the left side -- right under size info.
However,
| this does not work for jpg images. Is there something I can check to
make
| the jpg images also generate a preview?
|
| Also, under Folder Options/File Type/Edit File Type/ and clicking on
"Edit",
| should Use DDE be checked and the DDE Message says:
"file:%1",,-1,,,,,
|
| It is the same for both gif and jpg file types.
| Thanks for any help.
