heres the copy-paste stuff,
When you're looking for a particular digital photo in Explorer, turning on the thumbnail view will help you pick it out quickly. But what if you're trying to find a particular PDF file, a CAD drawing in DWG format, perhaps a spreadsheet? Suddenly you're back to the old technique of making a guess based on the file name, double-clicking on the file itself, and waiting for the host application to load. Before discovering you've got the wrong file and having to start again.
Install Explorer View and this could all be very different. The program integrates neatly with Explorer, adding a separate pane to the files window that displays a preview of whatever you select. Files supported include some of the most common document formats around (Adobe PDF, HTML, RTF, Excel XLS, Word DOC, Visio VSD, PowerPoint PPT, and a whole lot more). The program can handle a good range of graphics formats (JPG, GIF, BMP, PCX, ICO, PNG, DWG, DXF, PSD and others), as well as list the files within archive formats like CAB, GZIP, LZH, RAR and TAR. Click on an executable file and Explorer View will decode the header for you, while if all else fails you can always browse files in the standard Hex view.
This isn't just about the passive on-screen display of text or pictures, though. The program delivers high-quality printouts of supported files, too, which means for instance that you can get a hard copy of that complex spreadsheet without having to wait for Excel to load, first. And if you highlight an audio (MP3, WMA, WAV) or video (AVI, MPEG) file then Explorer View can play it back, too, with far less drain on system resources than you'd see from loading Windows Media Player.
