ThumbNails in 64 bit Vista (and XP?)

[Bayan]

Hello All,

Windows 64 bit does not dispaly thumbnail of files in explorer. Now I have discovered a work-around to do this and thought I would share it with you. If this has been mentioned before then I apologise for the duplication. This pertains to 64 bit Vista but may work on XP 64 bit as well.

Start Xara and click on File > Open and make sure the "show preview" box is ticked. Navigate to the folder which contains your images - Xara will display thumb-nails of your files. Now leave this window open. Go to windows explorer and navigate to the same folder (making sure thumbnail view is enabled), and you will see your files dispalyed in their full thumbnail glory. Windows will always display/remember this until your resave the file. Then you will have to do it again to refresh explorer with the changes made.

I hope this would help someone..
