After removing some malware from my PC I have problems with displaying
miniatures.
I can not see them, neither a slideshow can be run.

Which program was removed or damaged by my antivirus and where to get it
back working properly?

Thank you in advance

Generic icon is displayed for a picture file when in Thumbnail view

Thumbnail image not generated for Video files in Windows XP

To see Thumbnails in the left hand pane, you need to have Common Tasks
activated.

You also need to have the folder template set for Pictures or Photo Album.

You may have to click the Folders icon on the Toolbar to switch from Folders
view to show Common Tasks in the left hand pane.

[[You can display hyperlinks to common tasks in the left pane of your folder
windows. The links provide quick access to file and folder management
activities and other places on your computer, such as My Computer, Shared
Documents, and My Network Places. Windows displays these links by default,
so they may already be displayed in your folders. If they are not, you can
use Folder Options to enable this feature.]]

Start | Run | Type: control folders | OK |
General tab | Select: � Show common tasks in folders |
Apply | OK

Show common tasks in folders
[[Specifies that hyperlinks to common folder tasks and other places on your
computer are displayed in folders. These links appear in the left pane of
the folder window.]]

View | Customize This Folder | Select Pictures or Photo Album |
Apply | OK

Or..

Right click the folder | Properties | Customize tab |
Set to Pictures or Photo Album under what kind of folder do you want? |
Apply | OK

Use this folder type as a template:
[[Allows you to select a folder template. Folder templates apply specific
features to your folder, such as specialized task links and viewing options
for working with pictures and music.]]

� Also apply this template to all subfolders
[[Specifies that the template you select for your folder is applied to all
of its subfolders as well.]]

You can view your pictures as thumbnails in any My Pictures subfolder or any
folder customized as a pictures folder.

thank you very much
That was the registry problem
I typed :
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

in Start/run/OK

and all works again.

Thank you again, Greetings from Poland and Happy New Year 2006!

Well, greetings to Poland from Colorado, USA and Happy New Year 2006 to you!

Be careful on the web for the WMF exploit, Microsoft recommends
unregistering the shimgvm.dll until a patch has been issued.
