Need Photo Thumbnail Help

[Barry Watzman]

Windows XP offers "Thumbnail" view for folders containing photographs.

However, I need help getting this to work when the "photos" are in Kodak
Photo-CD format (".PCD" extension). I have a number of programs on my
computer that recognize this format, including Adobe Photoshop (both
full and Express), Corel Photo-Paint, even Microsoft Office recognizes
it (the filter is not installed by default, but it's provided). In fact
most photo-programs do handle this format.

However, Windows won't, by default, create thumbnails for it, and I
don't know what is required to enable this capability.

Can anyone help?

I believe that there is a way to add to Windows native support for
Thumbnails in photo formats other than those supported "out of the box".
That's what I'm seeking.

[Your suggestion is naive and impractical since, in total, there are
10,000 photos involved]

I don't know but what about IRfanview. It has a batch conversion
utility and a thumbnail function.
