SuperIcon V3: Thumbnails for Photoshop and Illustrator files

Supericon V3
Click the image to download this Super Icon V3.

It is well known, that with Windows Xp it is not possible to preview the files PSD. This is bothering because the icon does not allow you to distinguish between one file and the others.

Long time ago, I posted some registry files (the famous Psicon.dll) modificated to preview the Photoshop and Illustrator files. With the Photoshop it seemed that it works; but with the Illustrator it did not go with all Windows and Illustrator versions, I could not find out the problem.

With Supericon V3 you can preview the thumbnails of your PSD, Al, EPS and also TIF files. It is a small self installing utility, which works great.

CAUTION: this utility modifies the registry of your operative system. In my case everything works correctly, but I do not assume the responsibility of any problems. My antivirus did not find any spy programms or virus. Use it under your own  responsibility.

COMPATIBILITY: it is checked up for Windows XP, I do not know if it works with Windows Vista. I have not switching yet…. If someone can comment his own experiences it would be very helpful.
 
THANKS: thanks to Big Lupin for using the comments and let me get this utility and thanks to Renoir for the utility.

  4. Hello Anthony, thanks a lot :)

    I think the problem have nothing to do with the Photoshop version, the issue is with the version of your Windows OS. Im not sure what is the problem though, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt :(
