jpg + Windows Picture Viewer + Desktop + WinXPSP2 2/8/2008 4:31

I am running XP Home (SP2), and I'm not sure when, but I lost
the ability to view jpg files (stored in Desktop) with the Windows
Picture viewer. Bitmap and tif files work correctly.

When I double click on a .jpg file in
Desktop WindowsPicture viewer the program opens and closes

Already run "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" and "regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll" and do not
solve problem.

So the file associations seem correct.

Does anyone have more information?
