I don't know about you but when I'm looking through folders I have a bunch of .PSD's and I forget what each one of them are. I found a way to make it show a picture of it as if it was a .gif or .jpeg in explorer for windows. I'm on Windows XP and it's 100% working, I don't know about Vista/W7 but it should work for them too. I've been told this works on Vista, if you have W7 and you use this, please reply back if it is working or not. I have been told this does Not work on W7, sorry guys I'll look around for one that works on W7 (if any)

Once downloaded, head over to Program Files> Common Files> Adobe> Shell and paste psicon.dll into Shell. (It keeps removing my back slashes)
Note: If you don't have a folder called Shell then make one. Program Files>Common Files>Adobe>Shell might be in a different location; remember, im on Windows XP.

Once the above is done, Open Adobe.reg A window will pop up asking if you want to add the information in blah blah to the registery. Click Yes.

A new Window will pop up saying Information in blah blah has been successfully entered into the registery.

First, try restarting your computer.
If that doesn't work, then try putting the psicon.dll into Program Files (x86). So it would be like Program Files (x86)> Common Files> Adobe> Shell> psicon.dll
Also, you have to add that Adobe registration file into the registry.
