One of the image formats that you cannot view in Windows XP explorer by default is PSD. When you change the view mode to thumbnail, you won’t see any of the PSD images displayed. If you go to the Folder Option, you won’t also find any option to enable PSD thumbnail in Windows explorer.
Thumbview Lite is a free application that, perhaps, provide the easiest way to preview or display PSD thumbnails in Windows XP explorer. You won’t have to do more than just installing the application. Once you install it, you will be able to view PSD thumbnail instantly. Beside PSD, it also supports other image formats like CUT, DCX, DDS, MDL, MNG, PCD, PCX, PIC, PIX, PNG, PNM/PBM/PGM/PPM, PDD, PSP, PXR, SGI/RGB, TGA/VDA/ICB/VST, TIF/TIFF, WAL and XPM.

Thumbview Lite is perfect for you who doesn’t want to get bothered with details, but if you want to get a little bit control over which image formats that you want to be displayed in thumbnail mode, then consider about using Thumbview. Both of these versions, lite and full, are totally free.

I lost my psd thumbbails when I went from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop Elements 10. Oh how I missed them!! Now, thanks to psd thumbnails lite, they’re back. It’s wonderful. I 100% recommend it.
