I have lost the 'Scan picture' option in the task bar panel of the 'My
Pictures' folder.

This happened after I installed the Windows Fax software using Fax wizard.

The Fax software and scanning still work but I would like to put the option
back in the panel.

I tried running Start | Run | Type > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

This had no effect.

Any clues would be appreciated
 
Get pictures from camera or scanner is the option.

First, make sure that your scanner is connected to your computer and turned
on.

Second, make sure that the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is set to
Manual or Automatic and that the service is running.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) |
Under Startup type set to Manual or Automatic | Click Apply |
Click the Start button to start the service | When started click OK |
Close Services.

To test a scanner

1. Open My Computer.
2. Locate the scanner, right click and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, click the Test Scanner button.
This will perform a diagnostic test to confirm that the device is installed
properly.

• You must have a camera or scanner installed and connected to your computer
to view properties.
• A message will tell you if the scanner or camera completed the test
successfully.

This is the message...
Your imaging device successfully completed the diagnostic test.
