Viewing File floders as web page

I have read many older postings about the problem that I am having, but most of the links to sites are no longer helpful.

I am running Windows 98 second edition. For several years I have enjoyed the preview of .jpg, .bmp and .gif files in a column in on the left side of the folder contents. I think it was because I had the "View as web page" turned on. A few weeks ago I lost the preview pane and cannot turn the "View as web page" option back on. I have tried all of the folder options, but cannot get the preview pane back.

How can I get it back? Help? What did I do wrong?

Thanks for all the help.

Hi MTHPaul- I did a Google search for "lost thumbnail view" and the results are here: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=thumbnail+view+fix. I hope you can find something there to help you out. Good luck, clydeo22.

 

Hi Paul.

Did you go to start>settings>folder options>general and select web view or custom>settings and under 'view web contents' check 'folders I select as web page' then apply. Then open folder you want that view on and check 'view as web page'. You might also need to first open the folder properties and check 'enable thumbnail view'.

Thanks for the Google search, I am still looking through the hits for the answer.

Initially when I lost the preview pane I tried all that you suggested but nothing seemed to work. I tried it again recently and still nothing. From what I have read so far it sounds like a registry problem, but I can't figure out the fix.

thanks for all the help so far, any other suggestions?
