Hello Tom, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Unfortunately, thumbnail previews is an all or none setting.

Why?! Desktop icons mode is tile or icon! [no thumbnail]

Yep, thumbnail previews work on the desktop as well. You could test it by placing an image file on the desktop.

Tried everything

So about 4 days ago I lost most but not all of my video thumbnails after uninstalling McAfee total protection. I have done everything to get them back from checking the folder options to changing the redegit... I have uninstalled and re-installed haali, ffdshow and reset everything to default. Nothing works.Everything plays just fine. I am however a person with OCD and cannot have a mix of thumbnails and icons. I attempted to clean the cache and everything I have ever read on how to fix it and it's not fixed. I am a 50 yr old woman who is basic computer literate but anything more gets easily lost. Why would a system just stop showing all the thumbnails and only do some... I have a series with 24 episodes and only 3 show the rest are icons and they are all the same format.
