Thumbnail View Change After WinXP Updates

When using thumbnail view in Windows Explorer, I have
always been able to see complete thumbnails of all files
contained in a folder - graphics AND html documents. After
installing the latest WinXP service pack and various other
updates, I just realized today that I am now only able to
see graphic thumbnails, while all html documents are
represented by the Internet Explorer logo. I have a huge
website based on a numerical system, so this has caused a
major problem. I am looking at hundreds of files with only
a number for a name, and must open them in IE or
Dreamweaver to see what's what, when before I could
quickly scan the thumbnails to find the document I wanted.

Can anyone tell me what settings I need to change to get
back my original thumbnail view? I have tried every folder
option I can think of, but have had no success. Again,
images continue to appear as normal, but losing this
feature for html pages is driving me nuts.

Thank you for any and all assistance.
 
That file would not download, but I did find an
appropriate fix elsewhere on the site - however - it ONLY
restored thumbnail view for html files, and NOT files
ending in .htm - which is approx. 1,000 files vs. 25, so I
am essentially in the same place I started.

Whatever fix this was came as an executable, so there is
no way for me to know what was done to the registry to fix
the html files. I'm thinking all I need is that exact same
thing, only indicating show .htm files as well.

I can edit the registry as long as I know where and what
to edit, so if someone could help point me in the right
direction, I would be most appreicative.

Thanks again for pointing me to the Fix Site. As I said,
that particular file you pointed me to appears to be the
ONLY file that would not download on the entire site (LOL)
which probably fixed all of these problems, so I had to
settle for the "restore html thumbnail" under Quick Fixes.

Anyway, I'm getting desperate, so thanks in advance for
any help.
