Photoshop CS Thumbnails in Windows Explorer

Ever since installing Photoshop CS I haven’t been able to view thumbnails in Windows Explorer like I could with Photoshop 7. Here is a fix.

Info from Mike Golding.

  1. Download psicon.dll from dlldump.com
  2. Copy it to c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell\

Thats it! Its a shame Adobe stopped supporting this and want you to use their file browser instead, which is cumbersome compared to Windows Explorer.

    Thanks for the dll – it is a real shame Adobe is trying to force people to use their browser!

    Thanks so much for this – will make life much easier!!!!

    Cheers!

    Glad it was of help. I don’t know if they fixed it with CS3 or not, but my CS3 created files are showing up in Windows Explorer. Could also be from me “Maximize Compatibility” when I save my psds as well.
