In PS7, there was a tab for PS when I would right-click and view an images properties in Windows Explorer. One of the items on this tab was the ability to have the images icon be a preview of the image. I personally loved this option as Windows preview were much larger then needed and took up to ‘visual’ much space.

After recently installing PSCS I noticed that my image icons had reverted back to their Windows equivalent and that they were associated with PS at all. After changing file association to PS I right-clicked an image and to my dismay the PS tab was no longer there! Is there anyway to have my image icons be a preview of the image without viewing a folder in ‘Thumbnail’ view? And is there a way to recover the PS tab when I view an image properties, or has this option been written out of PSCS?

Thanks,
~Dan

if you keep an older copy of ps installed you’ll get the icons and the tab. the dll that handled that (psicon.dll) was removed due to many users having problems with file locking.

The right-click properties tab is gone, or, at least, no one has figured out as of yet how to put it back. And yes, Adobe killed it.
