I have a question about Disable the automatic display of thumbnails in certain folders:

I know how to stop a folder from showing thumbnails, but how do I get the little Open File window to not display thumbnails? In every program, from Photoshop to notepad, when I go to File / Open.. and the window comes up all the files are always shown as thumbnails. I am constantly right clicking and choosing "View- List". Is there a fix for this? Thanks

try this...

Copy and paste all between below two red lines to notepad

I'm having this same problem, and that doesn't help at all, the "Save/Open As" window still shows My Pictures-folder as thumbnails. I've also disabled thumbnailing in Windows using regedit, and that doesn't help either.

I have just discovered and used Yap's registry tweak, and it has done just what I hoped - hurrah!

Amber, did you try Yap's registry tweak? Did it help? Can you get XP to remember 
your preference in the Save / Save as dialogs?

I did try it, and unfortunately it didn't work for me. I never did find a way to fix that, but I recently reformatted because of other problems and it's no longer an issue.

Yap's registry patch doesn't work for me either. For one thing, it won't delete the 
BagMRU and Bags keys if they have subkeys under them, which I have. But even if I 
manually delete these keys and their subkeys in Regedit, they still pop back and 
I still can't get rid of the auto display of thumbnails. 

Is there any effective solution to this problem?

I'm having trouble viewing the preview picture in thumbnail view in all my folders. I was able to view a small preview of the pictures in the past (when viewed in thumbnail mode). So I could see what the picture is before actually opening it. But now all I see are icons of the program the picture would open with once I click on it. I'm getting annoyed at needing to open every file to see what the picture is. Filmstrip doesn't work either. Any help??

if you'd post in Real Time instead an almost yearold post you'd get some answers.Rarely 
anyone is looking at the old posts unless they have the E-Mail Alert for it still 
engaged.Just start your own Thread and ask your question.

Hi, there

I was having the same problem, and it was maddening. I finally found the solution on Ramesh's Windows troubleshooting site (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/imagethumb.htm):

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

This should do it!
