As seen on p. 8 of this thread:

it is possible to extract unedited thumbnails from some pictures that have been blurred. This only works if the exif information is intact. The program exif viewer helps determine if these thumbnails exist (do a google/yahoo/or whatever search on "exif viewer" to find that program. View an image
To get the thumbnails, you can either use the print screen feature when the thumbnail is showing on your desktop or use this program which pulls the thumbnails out for you. If you want it (it is called jhead), you can find it at

The help file for the program is here:

All you really need to know to work it, however, is that you have to run it from the dos promt and then:
1) copy the jhead dot exe file into the directory containing the pictures from which you want to extract the thumbnails.
2) Using the command promt (dos prompt) create a "thumnails" directory in the directory you want to work in. (I guess this part can be done through windows too)
3) In the directory with the main pictures, type: jhead -st "thumbnails\&i" *.jpg
4) Hit enter and the program will create the thumbnails of all of the pics in the parent directory in the thumbnail directory.
Caution: the pics and the thumnails will have the same name so if you want to put the thumbnails in the same directory as the original pics, make sure that you rename the thumnails before you do so.
This may take a bit of time to figure out, but I was able to do so so it couldn't be too difficult.
If you have any questions or problems that you can't work through, ask them in this thread and I'll try and help out. (Please don't pm me because with 20,000 members here, I don't want to be overwhelmed)
