I might add, that if anybody wants to ged rid of thumbvw.dll again, they can just run the command:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 /u thumbvw.dll

I was mean webvw.dll colud be responsible for html thumbnails. but as far as you were have this file enabled and you cannot see html thumbs then there is another file responsible for creating html thumbs. i workd on XP computer without thumbvw.dll and i can see html thumbs in both TC and Explorer

Before i installed thumbvw.dll on my XP, i only had icons to look at, exept graphics, now i can view in both TC and Explorer "readable" html files. Unless its my mistake, but isnt there an XP Pro version and an Home Edition? There could be the answer.

I don't think so. I have XP-Pro and it's without this dll, too.
