Open a Finder window, type Command-J to bring up the view options. If the radio button is on "all windows," great. If it's on "this window only" find a folder for which it's "all windows." Select "Show Icon Preview."

Don't worry about it. The way the View Options work is kind of weird and unintuitive.
