I have enabled the Preview Pane (Organize/Layout/Preview Pane) and the preview pane is displayed. However, the only preview that is displayed is *.jpg. Other files such as *.doc, *.docx, *.xls, *.txt and .eml are not displayed. Also I understand that there is someway to preview *.pdf
View 3 RepliesWhen I hover over a file that is supposed to have a preview option in Windows Explorer, the preview pane in explorer is blank. If I hover over a file that doesn't have a preview handler, it says "Preview not available". However the preview of images does work. Office files and PDFs won't display. I have checked all of the suggested folder options and they are set correctly. I have also found the preview handlers in the registry and they are all referenced there. I tried repairing Office and also did a sfc /scannow.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI do a great deal of video editing and special effects on my Windows 7 (home premium, 64bit) laptop. Many of the stock footage clips I use are .mov files and a lot of the sound files I use are .wav and .mp3. Unfortunately, these files do not preview (They don't play) in the preview pane in Windows Explorer. .mp4 videos do preview, but I have not tested anything else. All of the above mention files play just fine in the standalone WMP. Do I need to download extra codecs to make them work in the preview pane?

How to Turn the Preview Pane On or Off in Windows ?
View 0 Replies View RelatedHas someone found a way to make the mail preview pane header smaller as it was in Outlook Express? It occupies so much space that it makes it annoying! If I make it disappear also disappears the possibility to add the sender to recognize it as secure and the link to view images.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently found I could not rename an MS Word file selected in Windows Explorer while the Preview Pane was "on". Apparently, Windows opens a Winword process to display the file and Windows considers the file "open". With Preview Pane "off", the Winword process quits and the file can then be renamed. Is this a "feature" of Windows or a bug that Microsoft can / should fix?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Windows 7 and have been unable to preview any Office 2003 documents in the Explorer preview pane. This includes doc and excel files. The preview pane just says "No preview available."
I can view gif, txt, xml, pdf, html, etc. In general, Office is working, i.e. I can create and edit Office documents.
On a related note, I would also like to be able to javascript files which are just plain text, but I'm not sure how to do that.
This just started recently. Most messages come through with images but certain ones, and it seems to be from the same senders, the just have a place marker...the little box with the red X. The pic below is from [URL] If I open the email in another email program, the images are there so it isn't on their side.
I have looked at the Trust Center and that is set correctly.
So is there any way to reduce the message size so it fits in the preview pane? (like how you can hit ctrl+scroll wheel and change the IE8 font on a web page)
I upgraded from XP and am very impressed so far with 7 but the mail program hasn't changed much.
I recently reinstalled Windows, and my mum was using my computer to open a PDF file, but since I hadn't installed Adobe Reader yet, the file couldn't open, so she attempted to open it in Internet Explorer... So anyway, I installed Adobe Reader X, but the default program to open PDFs was still set as Internet Explorer, so I had to change it to open with Adobe Reader. It opens properly now, but there's one problem, there are no PDF file previews in Explorer; if I make the icons bigger it just shows a big Adobe icon. I tried the fix here: Fixes for 64-bit Adobe Reader preview handler and thumbnails but it doesn't work. I also tried using an alternative PDF reader (Sumatra) but I still get no previews.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUpon first opening Explorer in Windows 7, everything works fine. If I switch to another folder, I lose previews. In some folders, I have no icons at all. It doesn't seem to matter what the content is: .docx, .jpg, .avi. All icons are lost. The dreaded green bar starts crawling across the top. I have a spinning magnifying glass in the left pane. In "my computer" I can't navigate to any drives. It's beyond frustrating.I use a custom desktop theme and everything worked up to now; switched to Aero theme and have the same issues. I've run Malwarebytes. No problems discovered. I rebuilt the icon cache. Same problem as above. I did a system restore to a point before this started. Same problem. I started in safe mode. Everything works fine.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader using Revo uninstaller and I still can't preview PDF's in Windows Explorer.
Update: Solved
I had previously had Foxit installed. I had to run a repair install of Adobe Reader (Control Panel>Programs and Features>Adobe Reader 9.2>Change>Repair
Then apply this registry fix and voila!
I would like to have Foxit and Adobe Reader installed, so not sure how to make Foxit the default reader but still maintain preview in Windows Explorer.
I can get Windows Explorer to open to a specific folder in the Right Pane, but it only shows the "Computer" or "C:" level in the Left pane. I have tried pinning the folder to "Start", and have also tried various switches (n, e, select) as the target in Explorer.Attached is an example where a shortcut in Start opens TechInfo in the right panel, but not the left.Is there any way to open the folder in the [I]left[I] pane also? It's a minor issue, but a pain
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhat my plan is, is to remove Desktop from the Navigation Pane maybe using a Registry Hack but I think if it did, it would remove the others too since they expand from Desktop. I never use Desktop from Navigation Pane and just find it to be a nuisance to always have it collapsed and just remove it instead. I have already removed Favourites and if I can get Desktop to be removed I will remove the Homegroup and Network from that too using Brink's already made Tutorials.

Maybe they autoscroll in order to display all the child's folders but I don't like this.

I would like to make a change in the view of Windows Explorer (not IE) in Windows 7 OS. I click on View and then Choose Detail and choose Date. That changes what I see in the Contents Pane.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow the left window reacts when I select a folder.
If I have a long list of folders in the left window and I click on the small arrow to the left of a folder, it is supposed to show the list of sub-folders that are in the selected folder.
It does but here is my problem. Lets say the folder that I select is in the middle of the left window. When I click on the small arrow, Windows Explorer shifts the folder list down so that the selected folder is near the bottom of the window. Generally I can only see one of the sub-folders. And then I have to use the slider to move the selected folder up so I can see more than one sub-folder.
I wish it would leave the folder where it was and show as many sub-folders as possible underneath the selected folder.
Anyone know how to change the underlined key in the Context Menu? Say for example you right click a Folder Favorite in the Nav Pane in Explorer. There's a command that says MyCommand. If the current underlined key is 'M' and 'y' is not taken, how to change it to 'y' then?In Windows Seven and Vista there are context menu commands to open the folder favorite in the Nav Pane in a new window. But for some reason they are different. I'd like to make them both the same. That way I wouldn't have to think about it. Just right click a Folder favorite and hit the key.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just noticed today that my video and music files in explorer no longer show the album art or the video instead of the standard Icon when viewing large icons in folders. I think it is because I recently installed and uninstalled winamp. (thats the only thing I can think of) I cant do system restore because I had it disabled. I've tried reseting the search index, reseting folder options, going under performance and checking the settings there, nothing has changed. I really dont want to have to wipe and reinstall...
Here is a picture if you dont get what Im saying, as you can see in the folders it still displays the album art of the files but the actual mp3 files dont show it. The album art works fine in WMP.
