I found a registry fix ,to restore thumbnail views in XP ,but your seems to be working ,just not with some file types ,you could try running the fix ,I don't see what it would hurt,but then again this is Windows!!

I have never used this fix ,but have use many others from the same site this one comes from.Registry Edits

You can download and run this little fixer if you wish,use at you own risk!
