angelis deZines: Getting PSD files to Thumbnail in Explorer

Now before we start, we need to assume that you have Paint Shop Pro installed on your computer. If you do not then you will either need to back away from this web page or install Paint Shop Pro. You can visit Corel and download a trial version of Paint Shop Pro by clicking here!

Next you will need to download the supporting files I have in this RAR archive. If you do not know how to extract RAR archives then please feel free to download 7Zip {a free program that unzips everything} by clicking here!

When you open the RAR Archive you should have these three files ...

Readme.txt ... {Instructions}
Adobe.reg ..... {The registry installer}
PSicon.dll ...... {The icon dynamic library}

1 ... Extract the contents of the archive {the files above} to the folder ...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell ... {If the folder doesn't exist then just create it ... I had to}

2 ... Run Adobe.reg {usually you can just double click on it}

3. After rebooting your computer, you can enjoy viewing thumbnails of all of your .PSD files. Enjoy!
