This may have been covered here before, but I went on a hunt yesterday for a solution to thumbnails no longer displaying in Windows Explorer for Photoshop PSD files. Finally found a working patch here: http://home.earthlink.net/~freeware-soft/ps.cs.t.patch.zip
Basically CS and CS2 no longer include the DLL files that let Explorer display thumbnails, and uninstalling v.7 etc deletes the file. If you are installing on a fresh computer that’s never had earlier versions of Photoshop installed then you are missing various bits in the registry too. This link fixes the lot (though the reason that Adobe removed the feature is because it was unstable supposedly though I’ve never had any problems with it – So caveat emptor.)
If you have had a previous version of Photoshop on your computer then all that should be necessary is to place psicon.dll back into the shell folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\.
