No no, as I said: "(A not-yet official FAQ page)" = this page is not linked (yet).

Hereby I proved: too much install/deinstall cycles can cause transient brain-death. :mrgreen:

So, I have successfully beta-tested your registry fix. :wink:

PDF Thumbnails not showing

I just installed PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5 to see PDF Thumbnails in XYplorer but without success. In Windows Explorer I see PDF Thumbnails now, but still not in XYplorer. Preview isn't available too.

Win7/64bit + XYplorer 11.60.0001

EDIT: Sorry, I found your "registry trick" and now it works.

You have to edit the registry, see here:

Did anyone manage to have PDF thumbnails on Win7 32-bit OS? It works fine on Win7 64-bit, but not 32-bit.
Tried Adobe reader only, PDFxchange only and combined. Nothing works, any ideas?

i realize the last post is over a year old. but i was having a similar problem after i had to reinstall windows 7 (64bit). i had already installed PDF-Xchange because that just happens to be my reader of choice. so, i then also installed Adobe Reader; was having no luck at this point. adding the key to the registry (registry hack, if you'd like) and restarting XYPlorer, thumbnails instantly showed up. as well, the full screen preview works flawlessly as far as i can tell.
