hey guys.. do any body know that how to fix thumbnail problem. i hate this that some files are shown and some r not shwon ... have a look at the image below.
Go to control panel > programs and features and look for Corel Graphics -- Windows Shell Extension. It should have a version number 17.0.0.491.
If you have a shell extension with version 16.x or earlier, uninstall it and do a repair install of X7.
I have the correct Extension version, so that does not work for me.
I did uninstall X6 after installing X7 except for "CorelDraw Graphics Suite X6 - Content which remains, if that gives you added information for a solution. All are 64-bit.

It may still be advisable to run a repair installation of X7 to ensure that the X6 uninstallation did not remove any settings which X7 requires.
What do you have for the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cdr\ShellNew and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.cdr\ShellNew ? Are they CorelDraw.Graphic.17 ? And do you know what version of CorelDraw created the files with the missing items?
Ah, you may have found the answer (all other solutions here have not worked for me).
For: HKEY.CLASSES_ROOT\cdr\ShellNew - I have CorelDRAW.Graphic.16
For HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cdr\ShellNew - I have CorelDRAW.Graphic.17
I am a bit leery about making changes to the registry, but it the solution as simple as manually modifying the first to the number 17?
Thanks of your help with this.
Well, I edited the registry and it did not fix the problem.
As I mentioned above, I remember this same problem occurring a few years ago and then suddenly Corel had it fixed with an update. Does this seem likely again? If so, I will just wait.
finally my problem solved by going to the property of a file of coreldraw and chagned x6 to x7 . see the image below

It is always wise to be cautious when modifying the registry. In this case, I would say it is perfectly safe to make that change. But if that entry is wrong, there may be other errors too. For example, if you right click on a bitmap to edit it, is it opening in X6 or X7 photopaint?
The Shellnew entry actually controls what happens when you right click on the desktop and choose to create a new CDR file. It will probably offer to create a new "X6" CDR file. In practice, all it creates is a new shortcut with X6 in the title. It makes no difference to the version of CorelDraw that actually opens the file, nor does it actually affect thumbnails. But it is a quick indication that the registry is not completely correct for X7 as the main CorelDraw version.
If you have not already run the X7 repair installation (after you last did an install, uninstall or change with X6), I would do that and see if it changes that key. In principle, it should fix that and any other problems. But it is probably too soon after X7 launch to know for certain whether it does -- and if it does not, then the sooner we report it, the more likely it is to be fixed in the next update.
