Hello LostinAZ, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Double check to make sure that you still have Windows Media Player set as the default program with all of it's associations.
Default Programs - Set a Program's Default Associations
Hope this helps, :)

I want to thank you guys for trying to help... nothing worked and for some reason I don't even have windows media player active... I use VLC but Windows media player should still be active but oh well... based on that I restored my computer back to the date they all disappeared and they are back again. At least I didn't have to go back to a fresh start :)
ok, strange they should disappear with a macafee uninstall.
you could always try icaros to display thumbnails, they will show for mkv,avi ,flv and more...

Hi,
I've just downloaded the Disable_Explorer_Thumbnails_All_Users.reg from the OPTION THREE area only to find that it's set to operate on HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Similarly, Enable_Explorer_Thumbnails_All_Users.reg operates on HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Shouldn't these operate on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, i.e. system-wide, to affect all users (or am I just confused)?
Hello Rick, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Normally, HKEY_CURRENT_USER is only applied to the current user, but when it's a policy setting, it gets applied to all users. The registry location below is the same as what OPTION FOUR changes for all users.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
When you set a Computer Configuration policy in group policy, it's changed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
When you set a User Configuration policy in group policy, it's changed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Hope this helps to better explain it, :)

Hi Shawn,
Many thanks for the explanation.

Hey, i hope this is still active. My problem is that i didnt change anything, and i know all the ways how to enable and disable the thumbnails, and tried them already, but this just started a few days ago by itself.
I have "large icons" selected, but it looks like this
If i scroll down, some photos stay "blank" icon, or dont even show ANY icon at all, just filename.
In preview panel where it says "1 items slected" usually showed the thumbnail, but thats gone too.
Also, at the same time i noticed this, on Explorer the stupid loading bar started to go on forever, and finally the window stays blank ... saying "10 items" in preview panel
Anyway, i first thought this was a thumbnail problem but i dont know what it is now.
Any ideas? ... virus?
Hello LiSkynden, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Are these image files very large in file size? If so, when there's a lot of them in a single folder, it could cause a delay in loading their thumbnail previews, or not even load at all.
You might see if resetting the thumbnail cache for now may help if it may be corrupted.
