The only thing that I can see for all of my saved dds files and svg files are Ps icons and no meaningful thumbnails like with other files like png's. Is there a reason for this? I would like to see whats inside the file from the thumbnail.

Thanks for your help!!

This should be supported in the Windows os, not Photoshop. The Open/Save dialogs are served up by Windows which would display the thumbnails. You will need a third-party utility to do this. I'd check Google for recommendations.

Been poking around on google. Installed Nvidia's dds thumbnail viewer and an svg extention of which neither one works. Seems a little strange that this only happens with files that would be opened by Adobe products. PDF's, PSD's, DDS's and SVG(Ai) files. I've read where an app called Adobe Reader may be the answer. Are they talking about Adobe Acrobat Reader. Isn't that another charge to be using that in my account?

No, Acrobat Reader is a free PDF reader

https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/pdf-reader.html Acrobat DC Pro is the paid version you can ignore for now.
