view page data in ie thumbnail, help needed

[kode k 0]

on my old computer when i went into a folder containing saved web pages i was able to see that data in the thumbnail [all be it small] on my new computer xp pro the thumbnail of saved web pages just displays the IE symbol. can anyone help please.

 

its when you are useing thumbnails and in the little thumbnail box you can see the actual web page in the thumbnail. if you know what i mean.

 

someone on another forum recomended this site

You just mean Thumbnail view correct ?!?

 

When you open a Windows Explorer window there should be a View menu option. The default is Tiles view, just click on the Thumbnails view and that should do it.

I think I remember what you're talking about however I can't seem to find anything to make it do this either.

 

Perhaps there's a reghack or another third party app to do this

The registry codes can be found on this page. Scroll down a bit and click download the zip file.

the GooglePreview extension (FireFox, not IE) accomplishes this task wonderfully

 

it shows a thumbnail view of web pages resulting from of Google, Yahoo, etc. search

 

great for picking a page you went to previously but can't remember the address 'cause you will recognize the picture

 

IE, what's IE?

 

lol
