Open Windows Explorer then TOOLS-->FOLDER OPTIONS. In the GENERAL tab
tick the radio button SHOW COMMON TASKS IN FOLDERS and click OK.

Hi Dave,
Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 webview.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 mydocs.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 SHIMGVW.DLL click [OK]

Reboot your machine do you get the Picture tasks back?.

Also where do you have your My picture Folder residing, is it in
C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My pictures.
Look here in these Key:
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\ "My Pictures
Value data: C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Pictures

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\My Pictures

Common Tasks Don’t Match Folder Type

Or try this command if the above info didn't help:
sfc /scannow

I use IrfanView with all the plugins, the slideshow in that is customisable
whereas the one in Windows isn't. Best of all it's free.
