I have a question about Enable Iconic Preview of Bitmaps:

Can someone please give more details as it is not working for me :( Under (Details) value, I have the link to MSPaint and ",1%" at the end. Still have no iconic previews. Win98 OS. Thanks.

Tweak from Winguides Registry Guide:

Automatically View Thumbnails of Bitmap Files (All Windows) 

Makes Explorer show a thumbnail version of bitmaps files in the current folder rather 
than the generic icon ordinarily used. 

Modify the value of (Default) to equal '%1'. 
 
System Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\DefaultIcon]
Value Name: (Default)
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: %1
 
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

(default) Value: %1 That all?

Yes, that's what it says, and that's all. Just double click the default and change to %1. I've done it, so I know it works.

Isn't for me. Anything else that should be changed first?

Come on Ryan, I said that's all. Do you see any mention of anything else that needs to be done? You're welcome...
