It should work fine on Windows 2000. On Windows XP, if you can see a thumbnail of an html file in the thumbnails view in Windows Explorer then it's working. To get it working on my XP machine I had to : 1. Install and register C:\windows\system32\thumbvw.dll. 2. Add the following registry entries: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}] @ = "{EAB841A0-9550-11cf-8C16-00805F1408F3}" I used an approach of writing the html to a file and using the shell extensions to get a thumbnail of the file. I'd have preferred an approach of getting images from the InternetExplorerClass - but couldn't get it working. The tweaks required to XP are a pain, maybe it's possible to make the registry tweak at FAT start-up. Not sure about including thumbvw.dll in a distribution though? Cheers, Darren |
