HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png

Sure, and thanx for the help.

I thought I would try and fix this again and the problem seems to be caused by having Paint.NET set as the default program to open PNGs. I temporarily set Microsoft Paint as the default and the thumbnails showed up in X2. This is not a solution because Paint.NET is my favorite graphic editor.

nikos wrote:are these on some slow or network folder? Can you see thumbnails on your local hard disk?

No, they are just on the hard drive connected to the computer in the study. I keep wondering if it could have something to do with being saved from Paint.NET.

if your pngs are large in size, make sure your thumbnail extraction limit isn't set too low (TOOLS > OPTIONS menu) Thank you for your quick answer. I had thought of that. I had the “limits for extracting” set to “0” for unlimited file size. As an experiment I set it to 100 million and it still does...

I notice xplorer² doesn’t show thumbnails for PNG files though it does show a preview of the image in the Quick viewer. I also noticed thumbnails are generated for them in Windows 8 File Explorer, so I don’t think the proper handler is missing. Any ideas how I can get xplorer² to show thumbnails for...

I have a Windows 8 update (KB2802618) that repeatedly installs, but doesn’t take and stays in the update list. It appears to be holding up my upgrading to Windows 8.1. Any ideas? Microsoft needs to realize I don't use the Start Screen and rarely use Metro apps. While I still want to get the upgrade ...

Could you please put the date it was released in the message so I don't try to upgrade to a version I upgraded to a month ago?

Dear xplorer² customer (or mailing list subscriber)

xplorer² version 2.4 was recently released on September 6. It f...

If you don't raise the price you could use the lack of a price increase for marketing: 10 years and still only 30 dollars!
For some psychological reason $40 dollars seems like a big price increase to me, but something like $35.99 doesn't bother me.

Can someone help me with directions to edit the text right-click menu in Word 2013? Or point me to better directions with VBA or an addin? I recently upgraded from Word 2002 and I am shocked by what Word no longer lets me do, such as customize right-click menus and other parts of the interface. I wa...

I'm thinking of using the Shred function in xplorer²’ to wipe a hard drive of an Windows XP computer I getting ready to retire. I don’t think I need to shred everything but is everything outside the Windows and Programs folders safe to erase?

I recently replaced an old CRT monitor with a new LCD monitor. The new monitor is wide screen, as every monitor I looked at was. Now everything shown on screen is stretched side to side by 30%. Is there a way to correct this? I thought the video drivers would recognize the situation automatically, b...

I have decided the one new feature that would make my work with xplorer² a lot easier would be the ability to add a predefined, named, saved filter to the Autofilter menu. I see a little checkbox that appears when you name a custom filter that adds the filter in alphabetical order somewhere near the...

If I get a new computer in the future, to move xplorer² to it, will I just have to install xplorer², enter my activation code, and import my saved settings file? Will this bring over all my custom icons and settings? One of the reasons I ask it I would be jumping from Windows XP to Windows 8. Now th...
