How to turn off LDView's Explorer thumbnail previews?

[Michael Horvath]

I installed the All-In-One-Installer and it also installed LDView's plugin that shows thumbnails in Windows Explorer. How do I turn just that bit off without uninstalling everything? Thanks.

You'll have to unregister the LDViewThumbs.dll in the Command Prompt:

regsvr32 /u LDViewThumbs.dll

Bye, w.

I got the message

LoadLibrary("LDViewThumbs.dll") failed- The specified module could not be found.

I am running Windows XP SP3.

[Willy Tschager]

Dis you set the file path of the dll in quotes?

I believe that Willy's command line will only work if run from within the directory where LDView is installed (C:\Program Files\LDView by default).

[Willy Tschager]

Well also this:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\LDraw\LDView\LDViewThumbs.dll"

is supposed to work. If not I have to recode the uninstaller :-(

Yes, Willy, including the full path to LDViewThumbs.dll in the regsvr command line will also work.

That worked, thanks!!
