Previewing Images by default

Hi,

I applied SP2 over Windows XP and was surprised to see that 'Preview'ing
Images of default does not work. We need to open images compulsorily in the
Editor we specify.

But, at two different places [viz., the Explorer and in MS Outlook], I want
to Open and Preview the Image files respectively.

I tried modifying the System Key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\She llEx\
ContextMenuHandlers\ShellImagePreview]

but it didn't work, since it's meant for Windows XP only and not SP2.

Is there any other solution to this?

Please note:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
did not work!!!
