I was using photoshop 7 until just recently when I upgraded to CS2. But now when I view my psd files in windows folders they do not appear as thumbnails anymore. They simply look like the attachment below!

where as before it used to give me a thumbnail preview of the picture. Can anyone tell me how to enable this to work again..

thanks in advance

From another forum:

Explorer Thumbnails are no longer available for .PSD files. That
facility was removed because a bug in the O/S could create an inability
to save or delete files and could lead to data loss on some systems. Use
Bridge for your graphic files file management.

It's an Apple Brow

(and... I saw something about having PS 6 also installed on your machine allows the .psd thumbnails to be viewed in Explorer. Do you have an earlier version of PS on your computer?)

Yeah. I'm holding on to my copy of 7.0 for retirement. (you can't open scans of the new US currency in CS or CS2. ;))
I'm joking... but it is true that CS and CS2 won't open scans of our paper money, how about your part of the world Wayne?
