Preview images in Explorer?

[Madboy]

You know if you single click an image in Windows Explorer, it shows a preview to the left. Well i installed Irfan View weeks back and realised that all image types except Bitmaps dont show up in the preview thing. Only bitmaps do. So, does anybody know how to fix this, so other image types show in Explorer?

Thanks

Right click in the middle of the folder and select personalize folder then select the Image Preview template.

open the customable folder thing, edit your current theme and paste the HTML file i attached to this reply (( TXT, open in notepad, copy and paste it ))

Win98 doesnt use themes

[mastermind94]

well not themes...
the "Customize this folder". Sorry i was on the go.

I believe all version of Windows with Internet Explorer 4 or 5 and higher support that feature but i'm not sure.

and it's edit the current template (( in the "customize this folder wizard" )).

Well this cant be the best and only way, especially considering the fact that i have over 1000 different folders with pics different to bitmap. So unless you come over my house and spend hours adding this template, ill see if any one else has a more practical solution.

Thanks anyway

ACDSee offers nice features for image browsing and stuff. check it out. I personally dont like the last versions on it. But still check it out:
