That didn't even work for me... shimwhatever dll kept getting replaced in BOTH locations. You know... my WIFE's laptop does not have the default view to thumbnails. I need to figure this out. I HATE that setting. I'm thinking... shimgvw.dll has to do with the fax/picture viewer... so I'm going to mess with that a little and see what I get.
