In a bid to out-jackass Microsoft, Adobe makes a similar miscalculation by removing Windows Explorer’s ability to generate thumbs of your PSD files. The sole purpose of this is to force you to use their built in image browser, but in reality it is forcing users to search the Internet for a “fix” as if this is some kind of bug. Good move Adobe…

To make things easier I created a quick patch that includes the DLL file and registry tweaks needed. Just download the file, run it, click ‘extract’ then agree to add stuff to the registry… you’re all set. Don’t worry the EXE is virus free, but if you don’t trust me (which you shouldn’t because this is the internet) then run a quick virus scan before-hand.
