Title: Vista Thumbnail Previews for XP?
Post by: Geek-9pm on March 24, 2009, 02:13:06 AM

Vista Thumbnail Previews for XP? I did a Google, but the articles go on and on & I don't get it. Can you do it or not? How can you get Windows Explorer to show Thumbnails for documents as well as images? Curious minds need to know.  ;D

(Am now running Windows XP and it only shows thumbnails for HTML documents.)

That was exactly the program I was going to suggest if it was what Geek wanted. ;)

It looks like the kind of really cool thing that I install and use about 3 times and then uninstall.

Haha! Same. Haven't even installed it on my new laptop. No need for it.

Install --> Fiddle with settings --> Disable
