				hmm, ok guys correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure my XP shows the thumbnail for my .PSD stuff.  I could be wrong though, I was a long time windows user but for the past year and a half I've been a hardcore Mac user since thats all we use at work.  
 
 
Knowing me I'm probally wrong.  |

				A great program can preview PSDs. It's called IrfanView

				If you are using Windows XP and Photoshop CS you will need a small patch to allow Explorer to view the thumbnails, I can't remember if the patch is official or not, but it does work. _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade!  |

				I'm on XP pro, and it shows the small preview in the folder window, but I don't think it will open a full size (always defaults to PS, and I haven't tried changing it) I haven't put any patches or fixes in, just the normal XP stuff.  Wayne  |
