Thumbnails for Illustrator files in Windows
by Sergio Ordonez at 11:04 am on Illustrator
Everybody know that Windows use a default icon for AI files (Illustrator file format), it is really disturbing when you have a lot of Illustrator files because you cant choice the one you like just looking at the thumbnails.
With this small file you will have customized thumbnail views of your Illustrator files. Remenber I already posted the same for Photoshop files here: Psicon to see thumbnails of Photoshop files
Instrucctions to install :
- Download Aiicon from HERE and unzip it with Winzip.
- Put the file Aiicon.dll in the folder (create it if it doesnt appear):
‘C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell’. - Double click on the other file into the zip: aiicon.dll.reg and accept.
- Then inside of any Windows folder just activate the thumbnail views.
PS: Registry Editing is a black art. Use this unders your responsability.
