I was recently experimenting with Windows 7 Beta, but decided to revert back to XP. Why? My CD ROM burning software (Roxio Creator) didn’t work! Also I didn’t think there was that much value in the new version of the OS, considering I’m eventually switching over to a mac desktop. Why buy something into I won’t need in a few months? Anyway, so back to XP.

I decided not to use the x64 bit version of XP, because I was never able to get a fully functional version of iTunes on XP x64. So back to XP, this time 32bit. Once I reinstalled, I came across a familiar annoyance that I had forgotten about quite awhile ago:

If you store your images in Adobe’s .DNG (Digital Negative) format, and you are using Windows XP, you might have been annoyed when you found that thumbnails of the images don’t automatically appear in windows explorer. For some reason, which is beyond me, thumbnails are not generated automatically. Adobe released a codec for thumbnailing .dng files, but it only works on Vista, and doesn’t work on x64 bit systems. So the codec wouldn’t work for me.

I had previously found a solution after a bit of googling and searching through a lot of lame sites for $29.99 software for generating thumbnails, I re-found this site:

Which shows you the simple fix for adding thumbnails to XP. Just save the registry file to your desktop, then double click, and you are done!
