Awhile back you were posting about how to keep your puter safe from downloading pics from the net. You said to run something and it made all the pics in your folders so they werent thumbs. I thought I kept the thread but can not find it now. Can you tell me how to undo this so I can go thru my pics without opening them one at a time to see what they are.
Thanks dude, Perry

Go to Start menu and choose Run. Paste this into the box and click OK: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Try viewing thumbnails after. if it don't work, lemme know.l

Worked like a charm! Thanks. Now since I have automatic updates for windows, how do I know if I got the update to fix what this was protecting? Or have they not come up with a cure yet? If not, can you tell me how to undo what I just did so I can be protected again?
I really appreciate this.

Well, here's a quick way to check -
Open Internet Explorer. Click the "Tools" menu and choose Windows Updates. When you get to the point where it asks you if you want to install your updates, click "Custom Install". Look at the list of updates there and see if there are any "Critical updates". If there are zero critical updates, that means you're patched up.

No critical updates so I guess I am good to go!
Thanks Again Dude!
