I lost my thumbnails!

[TravisBickle]

I'm talking about my thumbnails that my Windows can view. it's like this: I installed Corel Draw. then all of a sudden thumbnails won't show. so I uninstall. thumbnails STILL won't show.
what do I have to do? I figure it's maybe something to do with file associations but I haven't succeeded. this is making me cross because I have a lot of pictures and thumbnails are so useful. I got a feeling I'm nearer that traditional reinstall of Windows...

funny thing is, new files that I am creating with the same extensions are actually showing up as thumbnails...

This is a real longshot, but let's see if it works.

I'm assuming you have some form of external backup that you use to store your graphics files. If so, try moving the files to that backup source, and then move them back to your hard drive. Maybe this will somehow "refresh" the thumbnail view, since all new files are appearing with thumbnails.

Let me know if this works.
