This box is unchecked, I checked/unchecked it doesn't change anything
it must be unchecked
See this example

It's unchecked, here's a screenshot of my folder options

This is what I have and it works
Do a check

I have exactly the same thing but... No preview in the preview pane
Take a look
Select small icons to the right of the red circle at the top right
and play with it like that you'll see the diffs
Here is what I have with the same boxes checked or unchecked and still nothing in the panel next to it where it is marked no preview is available

To view the part in the right pane, just click on the part in your list
there you go ;-)
Yes I know
It works well for all other files (PDF, JPEG....) but not for SW files

now I'm dry.......................... and don't understand why ;-(
I know that if the file is open or
that it is a file that has just been registered
sometimes you don't see an image
sorry ;-(
OK! Thank you, I'll dig a little
Slaut Philippe,
Can you try to de-register / re-register the following dll:
sldthumbnailprovider.dll
To do this, you must:
close SW
Open a Command Prompt as an Administrator
with, navigate to the folder: C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS
Type command: regsvr32 -u sldthumbnailprovider.dll
Enter
Type the command
regsvr32 sldthumbnailprovider.dll
Enter
Attached is a video capture of the operation

Mick, I tested your solution but here's what I get (see attached image
2015-11-20_08_03_59-solidworks.png
Did you run cmd correctly as an administrator?
Yes! I just did it as an admin! a priori it worked, in the visual pane of Windows Explorer I no longer have the message that there are no files to display, the area is empty but without preview of the SW files
Ok, so it's better, can you try to associate your files with the swshellfilelauncher application in the SolidWorks installation folder
Can you give me the procedure please
OK! It works! Can we adjust the size of this preview? otherwise, no big deal, it's already a good thing like that
Thank you
I don't know if you can set the size, for me it depends on the size of the preview pane
