If you'd like to have Explorer view Bitmap pics(.BMP)as thumbnails(with out having to
open them)when you put the cursor over it, Find this key in your registry..Start\Run\Regedit\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\DefaultIcon.... Then Change the Default Value to %1.....Do this by right clicking on the (Default) icon and delete the current Value or address and replace it with %1... Now, when ever you put your cursor over a .bmp in explorer, you will see a thumbnail of it just to the left of your programs......
