Can't preview pictures on desktop anymore

Hi,

For some reason I can no longer preview computer pictures(bmp, jpg,
gif, etc)that are on the desktop. Normally, by double clicking the
images would open up Windows Photo Gallery. Now nothing happens.

Double clicking in folder's in my computer still work, just the
desktop seems to be having this issue now. Even if I right-click and
choose preview or 'open-with'. It's very ood.

I tried setting Windows Photo Gallery as the default program to open
these images files with hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't
work

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Trent Rowe

Hi Trent,

I found out there is a little glitch in Vista that causes this problem. It
seems that if you have some "URL" files on your desktop, or internet links
directly on the desktop, for some reason the Windows photo gallery won't open
up. Try moving your links to a different folder and probably you'll be able
to preview your pictures again.

At least that was the problem on my computer and one of my friends computer.

Hope this helps,

David
