files. It simply displays No preview available
.
How do I fix this?

Much late, but you just need to modify the registry:
Copy everything between the --- and the bottom --- and save it as restore_txt_preview.reg then double-click it, and answer yes or okay to everything.
--- start copy below this line
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Hold down the Windows key and type

Type
regedit
, then hit enterChoose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
Scroll down until you find
.txt
Right-click and choose New -> String Value
Type

In the "Value Data" box, type
