Hello,

I have a number of files that generate a thumbnail using the shell extension
as discussed in this article

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/w2kui2.asp

I would like to extract this thumbnail to an image file. Unfortunately I
have only basic knowledge of C and limited knowledge of winapi's so the code
might as well be in russian:-)

As far as I can make out I need to call at least the
IExtractImage,GetLocation methods but how?

Can anyone give me some pointers as to how I can do this. Even a starting
point would be helpful.

Regards,

Guy Robinson
