frst of all thanks for this wonderful tweak…its really gr8… and all is wrking gr8 for me except the videos(.avi) files i can listen to them via preview pane but there is no video display. (.dat) its neither playing video nor audio…however i can play both the formats in wmp11…i m running vista 64bit home premium…one more question is there is i am unable to view .rar / .zip / .7z…however i guess if we could click on others option given in the utility we will be able to attach our files with the suitable programs like winzip to the compresses file formats…if possible to select plz do tell us how to enable “others” in the utility…n thnx again its really appreciable…

why is ‘other’ not selectable for the most part? i have photoshop and would like to preview my psd’s. is there a way around this so i can select things like photoshop for psd’s and illustrator for ai’s?

I found that simply repairing Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 installation using Vista control panel did the trick. Check this out:

Great program. Vosta is dumb. out of the box jpg was not registered to work in preview pane.

I am still mad the Picture thumbnail/icons isn’t present like it was is in XP or 2k. And I can’t really understand why microsoft made it so hard for files to be previewed by default and why all these extea steps are needed just to preview files.

Sure they came out with a great feature (but killed an old one), but why are all the setting for it half baked and not consistant between versions.

Exelent program though. Now I can finny preview my jpg files without opening them up in full screen. But automatic picture thumbnail view is what I need though.

@Jonadab

I put a mirror link for the file up there. Hopefully the winhelponline people don’t mind.

This is just a heads-up that the download is 403. Actually, all of the content at winhelponline.com seems to have gone away entirely, replaced with a CentOS-branded default-Apache-install info page.

Thanks! I thought it was very odd that Vista didnt do this – so odd I thought it was me…
