I have a problem with Photoshop. I reinstalled my machine after a harddisk crash and so reinstalled creative suite premium again. Problem now is that i don't seem to be able to preview the icons in winexplorer, all i get is the regular .psd icon and it's pretty frustrating if you have a lot of psd files.

I tried to solve this in a lot of ways, reinstalling with boots between them, deleting all the setup files manually, icon preferences (where there should be a photoshop image tab, but there isn't), added %1 on icon properties in register etc etc. Nothing solved it so far.. maybe one of you guys knows the solution? It's running on winXPPro/sp1.

Are you sure you're viewing the folder with the right settings?

Try right-clicking inside the folder. Choose "view" and select thumbnails and see if that solves the problem.

Yep iam sure iam watching thumbnails, so everything is actually thumbnailed exept for the .psd files.

No one else? I posted this message on several boards but so far on all boards had 2 replies in total.

I found this solution, but i don't know exaclty how to merge and i don't have the ps7 .dll

add an old version of psicon.dll(from ps7) to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell

then create a reg file with the following and merge into registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs]
"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Adobe\\Shell\\psicon.dll"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.psd\ShellEx]
