Thumbnails will not display

In order for Windows to display Thumbnails, Windows creates a Desktop.ini file and adds it to the folder you want to have a thumbnail view. The value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Installer\ Products\ 9040B11900063D11C8EF00054038389C\ ProductNonBootFiles
is changed to "Usage"=dword:2c4c025a
Files such as BMP that you wish to display as thumbnails should have a shellex value pointing to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ CLSID\ {7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC} and the file
C:\WINDOWS\ SYSTEM32\ BROWSEUI.DLL must be present and not corrupted. This entry should look like "{7376D660-C583-11d0-A3A5-00C04FD706EC}" . BROWSEUI.DLL must be registered properly for the thumbnails to display.
Then on each folder for which you want Thumbnail view capabilities, you must right click the folder, select Properties and check the box Enable Thumbnail view.
