    Thumbnail Previews (Win7 32 & 64) for Non-PDF e-Books


    Adobe PDF e-Books can have a preview on Windows Seven, if Adobe Reader is installed.

    Similar stuff is present in Win7 for a lexicon of filetypes:
    Supported file types for thumbnails/previews - ResourceSpace Documentation Wiki

    But, unfortunately enough, we still lack a tool/ third-party app to enable thumbnail previews for other filetypes, that we often use in daily life, (for example *.pdb, *.chm, *.epub ebooks etc). Even if, we have a third-party viewer installed for all of them, the thumnail preview never appears (instead, they take up the filetype-icon)

    Many Media files can have icons with appropriate players/codecs installed:
    FAQ - Thumbnails

    But, works need to be done for the e-book sector.
    Similar issues have been already addressed here on this forum, so I don't think, our experts can't make it.View Photoshop PSD files in Windows - x64 PSD CODEC for Windows 7, Windows VistaSome More Resources from Microsoft are Linked Here:





    Thanks everyone. I am new here, If I've broken any forum rules, please pardon me, and teach me the proper way.

    Edit: I found a similar app here:
    PreviewConfig 1.1.0.0

    But, it has several limitations, including adding new filetypes.

Thumbnail Previews
in General Discussion

I know Windows 7 comes with thumbnail preview like Windows Vista, but since I installed it it's only given the names of the open programs when I scroll over it versus the thumbnail photo. I didn't change any of these settings and I researched on how to change it. Most say to search "GPEdit.msc" and...
I am finding that the new thumbnail previews are, to me, more distracting than helpful. Is there a way to turn them off?
