Image dimensions are not shown in the Status Bar of Windows Explorer

This is the recent problem I had with Windows XP. My system Windows Explorer was NOT showing image dimensions in the Windows Explorer. Then, I’ve almost wasted 4 hours in searching internet and found no solutions. At last, by combining various solutions I had from Google Groups, I’ve been able to solve the problem. If any one of you face the same problem, do the following:

  1. Start -> Run -> Type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
  2. If this is NOT fixing the problem, do the following:
  3. Start -> Run -> RegEdit
  4. Navigate to: My Computer\KHEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ColumnHeaders
  5. If there is NO key with this name: {24F14F01-7B1C-11d1-838f-0000F80461CF}, create it.
  6. Close RegEdit

Now, your problem will be solved.
