Getting more photo file formats to display as thumbnails

[The Old Timer]

If I click on a folder that contains photo files like JPEG,TIFF,BMP I
get the option to see each files as a thumbnail. Is there any way to
get other photo formats to also display as thumbnails like Corel
Photopaint .cpt files?

Hi,

This is possible only if Corel supplies a thumbnail extractor shell
extension (IExtractImage interface) for Corel Photopaint files. Your best
option is to check with Corel support to know if they've released any such
plugin. Windows XP has built-in thumbnail generation support for these
files:

BMP, JPE, JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, PNG, WMF
