Following XnTriq advice here http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=62695#62695 I installed the HTML Explorer Thumbnails http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/htmlpreviews.html.
Now whenever I browse to a folder containing HTML files with XnView, as soon as it tries to render the file XnView crashes. Going into debug the VS 2005 SP1 debugger only reports a buffer overrun in XnView and the call stack shows a call to Ave's shell extension... it looks like XnView is correctly trying to render the file like it does on XP, calling the OS but now it finds this extension instead of XP's shdocvw and crashes.
I need either to unregister Ave's DLL or uncheck "show as thumbnail" for HTML, HTML and MHT files in XnView. It seems the extension works, Pierre, if you could just make XnView interface with it we could have HTMLK thumbnails under Vista also. But I'm afraid you cannot do any testing under XP, you need Vista since I don't think the extension is going to work under XP.

The registering of the DLL doesn't work on Vista for me 
Pierre.
Don't use the .bat file, simply open a command prompt, go to the folder where the DLL is and type
It didn't work for me either... I don't know why he wrote the batch file in that way when it would have been enough to write the above line in the .bat 
Code: Select all
regsvr32 HTMLPreviewShellExt.dllYes, i've tried that, but have an error???robc wrote:Code: Select all
