How to enable thumbnail preview in win98

Hi,
Previously i was able to preview .jpg file using the windows explorer. Whenever i clik on a file name, a small preview on the right of the screen will reveal the photo thus saving me the trouble of double clicking on the file where a new screen will enlarge the phot. lately this feature seems to have disabled. i think my son was playing around and now i could not preview the photos. Would appreciate if your guys could tell me how to enable this feature again.
thanks a million in advance.

Is the view contents in html?

Go to Windows Explorer, Tools>Folder Options>Web Style.

Also, in Explorer, click View and check as Web Page....

Hope this helps...

actually activating thumbnail preview of images for a folder in windows 98 is tricky and a little different from win2k,98se,nt,... when you want to activate thumbnail you have to do the following:

right click on the folder you want to activate thumbnail for>>click properties>>at the bottom of the box that appears check "enable thumbnail"(alt+t)>>now open the folder>>goto view>>
select thumbnail >>over!

No guys i am still unable to enable thumbnail preview. i do not know what went wrong, but thanks anyway guys.

Hey do this, in the folder you are viewing, click View at the top then click "View as WebPage" then it should come up[, if not right click the folder screen and click refresh, then it will work. I know it does because I did it not to long ago.

start>>run>>regsvr32.exe /i shdoc401.dll
i think this is for people who have ie 5, to be honest i don't remember what you should do if you are using other versions!

how about restoring the registry:

For windows 98, restart, press f8, choose 'command prompt only'. at the dos prompt type 'scanreg /restore' and choose a date that this was working.
