Windows 95: Registry; Making Thumbnails of .BMP Images Into Icons

In REGEDIT.EXE:

Select HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Paint.Picture\\DefaultIcon.

Double-click on default in the left pane.

Note the existing value which should be C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\cool.dll,41.

Replace this value with '%1' (a percent sign and arabic numeral 1)

Reboot Windows 95 and look for BMP file icons.
