You just mean Thumbnail view correct ?!?

When you open a Windows Explorer window there should be a View menu option. The default is Tiles view, just click on the Thumbnails view and that should do it.

I think I remember what you're talking about however I can't seem to find anything to make it do this either.

Perhaps there's a reghack or another third party app to do this

The registry codes can be found on this page. Scroll down a bit and click download the zip file.

the GooglePreview extension (FireFox, not IE) accomplishes this task wonderfully

it shows a thumbnail view of web pages resulting from of Google, Yahoo, etc. search

great for picking a page you went to previously but can't remember the address 'cause you will recognize the picture

IE, what's IE?
