Vista 64bit- Get Your NEF Previews Back in Explorer!
October 8th, 2008
Anyone now running Vista 64 bit can totally ignore this post.

Top .5% and developers still here? Ok- we all know Nikon’s using a 32bit shell expension in order to show the preview thumbnails in Explorer when you select View and the one on icon sizes (like “Large”).

Unfortunately, 64bit Explorer can’t use 32bit shell extensions so couldn’t show anything but the NEF icon itself. But I came across a post that said that we can launch the 32bit explorer like this:

%windir%\SysWOW64\explorer /separate

and heck if I didn’t get my previews back!


Enjoy!
