Try this Photoshop Thumbnails dll file by Josh

  • Download the file, photoshop_thumbnails.zip (62kb)
  • Copy psicon.dll to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell – if this folder doesn’t exist create it
  • Run Adobe.reg
  • You now can view PSD files in Thumbnails view within Windows Explorer.

The author notes that it might not work for all documents. If it doesn't work, consider purchasing Ardfry Imaging's PSD codec.

I've had good results with FastPictureViewer Codec Pack. This is commerical software but the price is low.

Let me recommend you this little application that I found:

enter image description here

SageThumbs is a Windows shell extension that provides thumbnail preview for more than 160 image formats. Although Windows Explorer can already display thumbnails, it only supports a handful of formats. With SageThumbs, you can view thumbnails for many camera specific RAW files, Photoshop images and many other formats. In addition, it provides an (optional) thumbnail in the context menu as well as image conversion features and enhance tooltips in Windows Explorer.

Just checked it's not working well. In the same folder I have many PSD files but it's only showing thumbnail for 2-3 – metal gear solid Nov 15 '11 at 12:19
@metalgearsolid Sage Thumbs will only show thumbnails for files under a certain size You can configure that size to be larger using the right-click context menu, options. I had the same problem with some PSD files not showing thumbnails until I worked out the filesize thing. – Nat Nov 25 '11 at 23:58
