    Notepad Thumbnails (text files)

    Thumbnails for filetypes like *.docx and *.pdf work, but I noticed that *txt files now show thumbnails (with Notepad icon) on my work computer, but not my home desktop. Is there another setting somewhere I'm not seeing that will reset/fix and show them on my personal machine? Thanks.
