How do I make psd files show as a thumbnail image in windows

ask.com returns quite a few hits for the question: "Why can’t PSD
thumbnails be displayed in Windows 7?"

The third reply may be of interest.
Finding a safe version of psicon.dll is the tricky part?
Sorry I can’t be more help. 🙁

The only problem is I would try to do the bit suggested in the third reply but I don’t have a Shell folder under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe as the example says you have to put psicon.dll file into. Also I have the other viewers but I want to be able to see a thumbnail image in Windows Explorer not in another program. Thanks for the help anyway.
I’m using Windows XP and CS3 and I have C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell which contains 2 files: icons.dll and idicon.dll. In searching for an answer, it seems like I read something about a Registry hack was also needed for Windows 7?
If you want to experiment, add the Shell folder manually.
Or you could try XnView, Tools, System integration. In Explorer, you could right-click on a folder and choose to ‘Browse with XNView’.
Not exactly what you want, but maybe close enough to see the thumbnails without having to use Bridge.
