UPDATE: How to View Adobe Illustrator AI Thumbnails in Windows XP Explorer

This post has now been updated  . . . . . .SEE BELOW

A short while ago, I spoke about two methods of displaying a small image of the file as a thumbnail, when viewing Adobe Photoshop PSD and adobe Illustrator AI files in Windows Explorer.

Each post can be seen here:
Adobe Photoshop PSD as Thumbnails
Adobe Illustrator AI as Thumbnails

UPDATE:

Both those methods involved downloading files, pasting them in a newly created folder, and changing the registry.

Now you can update both PSD and AI files quickly with one click.
All that is required is to download this software and click on the program to run it . . . . . Only takes a second and is as simple as that.

As before, as long as you have Thumbnails selected for that folder, Adobe Photoshop PSD and Adobe Illustrator AI icon, will now be displayed as a small Thumbnail instaed of the standard Icon.

Unfortunately, I still havent worked out a way to automatically prevent Illustrator removing the thumbnails the next time it loads, but the tried and tested manual fix is here if you are OK with editing the registry, and you only need to do this once.
