There is a program in the archive that uses com, list view thumb nails and win32lib called view picture.
There are also other programs that may help you here but that program features the main things you are looking for.

I got it! I ran it! It crashed when I selected thumbnails, with a machine-level exception :( I can't seem to get past that point, which rather leaves it less than useful.
I'll go through it, but Tone Skoda is a better programmer than I am, and probably had more time, so unless I can see why it is failing I may have problems getting much out of it.
I have to say that I often find it faster to write code from square one, using proven libraries, than to try and sort out why another program is failing, then try and cherry-pick the bits I want, then cobble them into my program. I will certainly look at the code, but unless I can get it to run fairly quickly I suspect it won't help too much.
Thanks, BugFinder, for pointing this out; I appreciate any help/advice/ideas, especially if I can use the info.
