Ellen,
That feature still works for me on my Win98/IE5 machine. Although for the life of me I can't see what option in IE or Explorer might control it. You might ask on the IE newsgroup the IE MVPs are a pretty smart bunch.

>What I mean by 'preview' is when I single click on a .jpg, in Windows Explorer, it used to bring up a tiny image of the picture in the left hand part of the Explorer window. So I could see the image without actually opening it in IE or another program. Like I said, this USED to work, but when I tried to associate the .jpg with a different application I lost this capablility. :(( I WISH I had an UNDO button!! :)
