Adobe Bridge CS6 does not display WMF graphics files - what to do?

Question

The question says it all.  I am running Win7Pro 64bit with Adobe Bridge CS6.  This may be a windows/microsoft/wmf file format problem...but what to do?  WMF files display with a icon only.  Please advise.

Apparently Bridge cannot preview .WMF files. I have old ClickArt CDs and occasionally want an image. So I have converted all the .WMF files to .AI using a script in Illustrator. Once converted, Bridge will display a thumbnail.
Here is the script written by Carlos Canto. (Thank you Carlos, whoever you are!)
Copy the script text. Paste in a plain text editor. Save as ConvertWMFtoAi.jsx in the folder Program Files: Adobe: Adobe Illustrator CS6: Presets: en_US: Scripts
Then you find it in Illustrator under File: Scripts
// script.name = makeAiFilesPDFcompatible.jsx;
// script.description = opens and resaves Ai files with PDF compatibility checked (Folder Batch);
// script.requirements = none
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 06/4/2013;
// script.elegant = false;
// script.forumPost = http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1224874?tstart=0
var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Source Folder..."); // select folder
if (folder==null) {
                    alert("Good Bye");
else {
    var files = find_files (folder, ['.wmf']);
          var fileCount = files.length; // count them
          if (fileCount>0) {
                    for (i=0; i<fileCount; i++) {
            var idoc = app.open(files[i]);
            var saveOpts = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
            saveOpts.pdfCompatible = true;
            idoc.saveAs( files[i], saveOpts );
            idoc.close();
        alert(fileCount + ' file(s) processed');
          else {
                    alert("There are no Illustrator files in this folder.");

function find_files (dir, mask_array){
    var arr = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < mask_array.length; i++){
        arr = arr.concat (find_files_sub (dir, [], mask_array[i].toUpperCase()));
    return arr;
function find_files_sub (dir, array, mask){
    var f = Folder (dir).getFiles ( '*.*' );
    for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++){
        if (f[i] instanceof Folder){
            find_files_sub (f[i], array, mask);
        } else if (f[i].name.substr (-mask.length).toUpperCase() == mask){
            array.push (f[i]);
    return array;
