I found a problem on a friend's computer that has me stumped. It's WindowsME, and, yes I know that is the real problem, but hear me out.

The thumbnails view in Windows Explorer quit working. The images (of all types) never load into the thumnails. The outline of each thumbnail is there, but just the file type icon is shown in the center of each frame. The previewer still works.

It's been doing this for a while, and he doesn't remember if it started when he installed some software at some point or not. Strangely enough, when I got to it, the .JPG file type was associated with Quicktime Viewer, so I have that corrected. But that should be an unrelated issue to the thumbnail view dieing.

Any ideas?
