If you have issues about PDF thumbnails not showing in Windows Explorer XP, here's what to do.

This usually is related to Acrobat Update.

You can try to reinstall the application, but after the update, the problem might occur again.

To solve this please do the following:

Click on START | RUN | CMD Enter

type:

regsvr32 shmedia.dll
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

You can also open notepad and paste the following code into it:

[div class="doc" class2="typo-icon"]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\Shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{F9DB5320-233E-11D1-9F84-707F02C10627}"

[/div]

Save it with .reg extension and double click on it

If you still have issues, please leave a comment.
