What odds? I know of only a very few packages that enhance Explorer
thumbnail capability, none of which work with Windows 2000.

None work with Win2k? What an odd (and completely wrong I'll
add) assertion to make. I just installed one of them - now
third on the hits as of a moment ago - and it works
perfectly on my Win2k SP4 box. I wasn't surprised, it
claimed to work on any Windows version from Win95 onwards.

Incidentally that's the one I expected the OP to find and
try.

Fair enough, but how is it on point to give the OP advice that doesn't
help, and how do you know the OP hasn't tried and failed? This is a
tough nut to crack.

Whatever. Argue with yourself in the corner, I'm deaf to
your nonsense.

Any good reason why you're still not naming names? Still just being
cute, or perhaps because it isn't the link you first mentioned, and
you've now scrambled to a different link?

So I have to guess, which is that you're now referring to Xentient
Thumbnails http://www.xentient.com/products/thumbnails/. It's
actually *not* what the OP was asking for -- it replaces (small) *icons*
with previews, rather than enhancing Windows Explorer (larger and more
capable) *thumbnail* capability, and thus won't help in all cases -- but
is at least close enough to be a reasonable answer. It has a downside,
however, a *huge* performance hit when opening a folder with lots of
images, unlike thumbnails, which are cached by Windows.

Incidentally that's the one I expected the OP to find and
try.

But you chose to be rude, pedantic and ambiguous, instead of
unambiguously pointing him to your answer

Not to mention rude. Are you this testy by nature, or do you have to
work at it?
