I'm very keyboard oriented and I'd like to know if anyone knows of a way to add a shortcut for "Preview", that is of course if there isn't already one (I've searched/Google but I came up empty) Here is an image that shows what I'd like to have a shortcut for. I'm quite surprised that their isn't already one. You get these options when you right click on an image (jpg etc)[CODE]
I have noticed that if I change the content of a picture,the preview of the original file does change,but not the preview of the shortcutFor example-I created a new PNG file in "New Folder",called Yellow.PNG - Yellow.PNG is a picture of a yellow SquareThen,I created a shortcut for Yellow.PNG in "New Folder 2"The preview for both is yellow square...Then I decided to open Yellow.PNG and change it from yellow square to red square,and saveThe preview image for Yellow.PNG is now red,but the preview image for "shortcut to Yellow.PNG" is still yellow
I'm using Word 2002 + Windows 7 and can't preview Word documents in the preview pane (although pdf's and webpages work fine). Is there anything I can do?
I 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?
With either of these two Products, if I create an Image will the Image "include" everything on the Partition?What I'm asking is, in the event I "delete" something from a Partition, and presuming the "deleted" item is not overwritten, will the "deleted" item be part of an Image created AND restorable by Windows or Acronis?
i downloaded a video file and when I checked the folder it was downloaded to it was not there. I then used windows explorer to locate the file and it found it. However, I got this error message "this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shorcut will no longer work properly."
[code] Windows 7.You know how you open a folder full of photos if the folder is set to one of the "Icon" sizes it will show a preview/thumbnail of the picture.I guess I recently had my head in my armpit and did something dumb. They have stopped displaying that way. There is a square outline with the logo of the image viewer I use - Faststone.Any ideas how to get the photo previews back?
I installed Win 8 preview on my system using Oracle VM, however it loaded the virtural HD on a disk I didn't want the VM or Win 8 preview on. Is there a way to delete all of this and get my HD space bac
When I hover over icons in the WIn7 TaskBar then I got (normally?) a preview of the refering window.
After having switched back and forth some other settings I could not get back this "preview". Open Tabs for e.g. the Internet Explorer are just shown as a line and not as a small mini window of the real web page.
How can I get back to the preview mode? Yes, I re-enabled "Aero" meanwhile again.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox as my browser. I cannot preview .pdf documents in Windows explorer. Does anyone know how to get around this?(I don't have Adobe Reader, just Adobe Acrobat, v.8.2.6)Florio
I 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.
this dual booting. I have an extra HDD (in my PC)and I would like to test out windows 8 on. What are the difficulties involved in this process? What version of windows 8 preview should I attempt to use?

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit The windows system image backed up on my external hard drive (2TB WD USB3) is not showing while restoring the PC from an image.
The only option available is my hard drive partition on which i also had saved a system image. Though windows recommends External hard drive for backing up image when backing up the system.
Just updgraded to Windows 7. I have a few password protected Excel sheets. I was really surprised to see the content of my sheets showing in the Windows 7 Explorer preview pane (before opening the dicument and being asked to enter the password). Any extra protection I need to put on the document to prevent this behavior?
i've seem to have problems with my pc since this morning. I keep getting bsod, (Bad loop caller). Even when i restart i still get his error. Even when i go to safe mode i still get this error.
Hey guys, need help here. sorry if i post this in a wrong section I'm using ASUS A43S with NVidia GEFORCEGT 540m CUDA.I'm messing around by installing Windows 8 but then I accidentally click personal files only when installing. So I lost all my programs, its fine for me though, I can reinstall all of them but it seems now my graphic card is not detected as Nvidia but some kind of windows basic graphic card driver ? now I can't play FIFA12 but others just work out fine. I can't restore to factory state because apparently its gone (i dont know why, maybe accidentally deleted it).
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit it is installed alone on a Sata Hard Drive.I have just added a Second Sata Hard Drive and Installed Windows 8 32 Bit Customer Preview on it.Unfortunately the Bootloader hasn't installed,so I cant Boot into Win 8.I have checked in msconfig Boot and only the win 7 O/S is shown.
I have trouble with a particular position with the display windows. When I'm putting the mouse over the thumbnail window I see it correctly but the original windows is "transparent" I don't see the information to say that I do not see its contents as I have not clicked on the thumbnail, on other items just drag the pointer over the thumbnail for the full window visible.
I'm about to install Windows 8 preview in a virtual environment (VM ware player). Am I correct if I suppose that no traces are being left within Window 7 if I do so and if I uninstall Windows 8 from within VM ware player at a later time? Is there anything special to be considered?
Is there any way to speed up the time it takes to close the preview window? By default, it takes about 1.5 seconds for the window to close after moving the mouse off of the icon or preview pane.Turning off taskbar animations in the "visual effects" does not shorten the time. It just takes away the animation, but, it still takes about 1.5 seconds for the preview to go away.
I often have to create Shortcuts to executable code. I used Shortcut Extension - Remove or Restore to get Code: SED.exe instead of the Windows 7 default Code: SED.exe - Shortcut as name of the newly created shortcut.
But I would prefer to have just 'SED'. Any way to do this automatically?
I think it might matter that I do not hide extensions ['Hide extensions for known files' (Option in Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options... -> View)].
I need a little help figuring this out. I made a backup image a while back on my network. Now that I want to re-image, I reboot as requested, wait for it to load, and Windows says it can't find my backup, "if it is on a network, close this window , type the network location."Putting in the network location does nothing, I'm just returned to the screen where it would list the backup image if it had found it, but there's nothing there.Thinking perhaps my NAS was the problem I copied the image onto a portable hard drive, but after rebooting into the restore program, Windows 7 doesn't find the USB drive.
I have a fresh install of win 7 64 bit Home Premium. When I right click on a shortcut and open its properties dialog, the only tabs i get are "General", "Compatibility", "Security", "Details", and "Previous Versions", but no "Shortcut" tab. I have searched the Web and there are very few instances of this problem and no solution. I have tried everything I can think of with no success.
I'm running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended installed. Everything is updated but thumbnail preview for PDF files in Windows Explorer is not working.
