> the Microsoft API is broken.

And has been for years and wasn't restricted to the psicon.dll file. It was the case with aiicon as well. I'm sure there were more.

Acusing Adobe of not working with what MS has out there, in this case, is like saying because they make the fuel pump the truck with broken axles should be drivable.

jj, you hear that?

Yep, the bug is in Vista, too.

As I already said: the Microsoft API is broken. For one thing it leaves files open and fails to close them, so you get complaints about "the file is open or in use" when you shouldn't. Adobe cannot always work around something that is broken at the OS/Explorer level.

Ok,
So why can't adobe re-write the thumbnail file format to run with current microsoft API specs?

Well where do I sign the petition to get Microsoft to pull the finger.. seeing as YOU guys(adobe) have spewed out the same damn pitifully improved CS releases without bloody proper explorer thumbnail file formart support!..

You are ADOBE and you don't have any pull on getting Microsoft to sort some explorer API issue? after how many years??? gimmie a break you guys are taking the piss.. a bit like forcing that crap Bridge junk on user installations!!!!.

No, that has not been restored.
Microsoft has not fixed the explorer APIs yet (the ones that prevent it from working correctly).

>one minor improvement that I love is that it shows the full path to the image up top.

that would be a big improvement! :)
