Preview any file XP-Style

[nassosk]

Hi all,

I 've been searching for quite a while to find a way to preview ANY type of file (not just images) much like the Windows XP Explorer does. Eventually I found a solution, using the WebVW.dll (which I had to import to .NET by using AxImp.exe - more info here). This, actually worked like a charm.

However, recently I upgraded to Windows 7, that, in all their greatness, spoiled my hard-earned solution

It seems that WebVW.dll doesn't ship with W7, and even more, it won't register even if you find it, so my solution cannot be deployed.

Does anyone have any idea how to go about this?

Thanks in advance,
Nassos

PS: I 'm using Visual Studio 2005

Anyone?

Who created WebVW.dll? Perhaps they have a Windows 7 version or are working on one.

I think Microsoft have created it..

It's not like I downloaded it or anything: after reading an article I just browsed my system directory and found it.

Anyway, it seems it's not that widely known (or used for that matter) .

Thanks
