danielc56 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi all,Thanks to this site, I've enabled 9x/XP's Compressed Folder feature in Windows 2000. I was wondering if there's a way to do something similar with the following XP features:1) Filmstrip view in Windows Explorer2) PDF preview image in Thumbnail and Filmstrip views3) Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (instead of Wang Image Viewer, or IE) to open imagesI know there are 3rd party programs that enable some of these features, as discussed briefly in another thread. But since its possible to enable the Compressed Folder feature, I'm hoping to do the same by using native XP/9x files and techniques. Thanks,danielc56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is actually a construct of explorer.exe, shell32.exe, win32k.sys, and potentially other system files. You'd have to hack these into the OS, or write your own shell (explorer.exe) and use it in place of the inbox explorer.exe to make this work. This is a little more than a shell extension you're asking for, you're asking to modify the shell itself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
