Many of you may have experienced the same trouble! - a) the link for the download is dead. - b) you google aiicon.dll.reg, find it, then you follow all the instructions but still doesn't work. What transpired for me was that the aiicon.dll.reg was corrupted (probably since it is a very old problem, + a lot of people were in the same situation and the files were somehow forwarded a lot resulting in some damage) (in fact the 'damage' was only a space that was inserted in the last 6 lines of the *.reg file (openable with a txt editor) as in the following examples: Ico nHandler, Pro pertySheetHandlers, Pro pertySheetHandlers\AIPage). So i just removed the space to what seemed logical as in: IconHandler, PropertySheetHandlers etc...). I hope i am making some kind of sense. Then I followed the instructions. IT DEFINITELY worked for me. I am posting the whole shebang (the amended one and the corrupted one for reference to 'illustrate' my point. Thanks to Alex Walker who posted this in the first place. It now works like a Charm! Hurray after much head scratching all thumbnails are now back!

I found from another group that you need a 32 bit app to create the thumbnail. For example, say you can only see the generic logo in window explore for your jpgs - open word 97 (or similar 32 bit app) and go to your jpg directory like your opening a new file (make sure your looking at your files as icons/Thumbnails and not in detail view). No need to actually open your jpg files just make sure that you can see the thumbnail. Close word and when you go back to explore you should see your jpgs made in CS3 as Thumbnails, thanks to your word app. A pain I grant you but I hate not being able to see my jps as Thumbnails, kind of makes you wonder why bother upgrading or at least buying a legit copy ????

I've been reading about this through google and everyone is pointing to adobe but I have yet to see an answer. On some folders, some thumbs show, but on my network drive it is about one in 5. Crazy!

CS thumbnails shows the version of the EPS and AI files (eg. EPS8, AI10) which is useful for my line of work. But after installing CS3, the thumbnail now shows only a generic image for EPS and AI. Would anyone know how to get back the thumbnails of CS back that shows the version numbers? Thanks! I’ve been searching for a way to prevent CS3 from replacing the thumbnails of my CS.
