I’m sure i could find a way to do it on 7, but i don’t have it, and unless someone want to buy it for me, i really cannot see changing over as XP works just fine for everything i need.

Things to check

Make sure that you have Thumbnails selected for that folder
Make sure they do have a windows .ai extension, (if saved from a MAC they won’t)
Try dragging a file into a folder on your PC and recheck the above.
If it is a very old AI file, the thumbnail will not be displayed

They are the only reasons it cannot work !

I was hoping it would allow me to view thumbnails of AI files located on a CD in Widows Explorer before opening them in Corel Draw X4. Unfortunately I am still not able to view them as thumbnails. I do not have any Adobe products installed other than Acrobat Viewer and Dreamweaver. Please let me know if you know of another method to view AI Thumbnails.
