Add More File Types to Windows Thumbnail Preview

It's always frustrated me that Windows Explorer only supports a few different file types for it's thumbnail preview of your files. Recently I ran into a thing called ThumbView that will add a butt-load of other file types to Explorer's list of thumbable files, including cut, dcx, dds, mdl, mng, pcd, pcx, pic, pix, png, pnm/pbm/pgm/ppm, psd/pdd, psp, pxr, sgi/rgb, tif/tiff, tga/vda/icb/vst, wal and xpm images.

The best thing about it is that it doesn't install any software that runs in the background. The app is actually just a shell extension that only gets called when a preview needs to be generated. Clever programmers out there can even write their own "Thumbnail Extractors" to add support to additional file types.
