Thunderbird + Windows Image Viewer Issue

Posted by liggyman in IT issues, Knowledge Base

I recently migrated an XP Virtual machine from VMWare to KVM. The process required doing a system repair using the XP install cd.

After doing this image attachments in Thunderbird were being opened by IE instead of the Windows Image Viewer. The image viewer wasn’t even an option to use.

I had to run the following from a command prompt to resolve the issue:

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
