As we all know, Windows Me doesn't include the QuickView command. However, I found an excellent explanation on how QuickView can be restored in WinMe -- and preview Xara files -- at Adding Quick View to Windows Millennium. It worked perfectly for me, and I want to share it with you.

Here's a brief step-by-step procedure:

1) Be sure you have installed the Xara Quick Viewer from the CD.

2) Download the Windows95 version of QuickView from Microsoft: QuickView download

3) Execute or unzip the files inside the archive.

4) Install QuickView by right-clicking the file QUICKVU.INF and selecting Install from the pop-up menu.

5) In Windows Explorer, select Tools / Folder Options, click the File Types tab, select .XAR files, click Advanced, then New. In the Action field, type QuickView. In the Application Used to Perform, type C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM/VIEWERS/QUIKVIEW.EXE "%1". You may repeat the procedure for .WEB files as well.

Done. The QuickView option should appear when you right-click a Xara file. If it gives an error message, try Sean Sedwards' Fix for Xara Quick Viewer.

Have fun! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
