The "TView" application I've relied upon for years is a part of the "ThumbView" package by Martin Wright (who also created TGATools2). It can be found at http://www.mwgfx.co....grams/tview.htm
It should work excellently on XP (since Goku hasn't released a 32-bit version of his thumbnail handler DLL) and the TView.exe program works just great on any OS.

Even my DLL 32 bit version will not work on XP, because new Windows systems have new thumbnail system other than 98-XP and my DLL implements this new system.

1. Download and extract the files somewhere.
2. Open cmd or powershell as administrator, go to directory where the files are and register the lib using:
Regsvr32.exe CppShellExtThumbnailHandler.dll

Now all .ace files will have thumbnails like other images. :)

If you don't like it, unregister the lib using:
Regsvr32.exe /u CppShellExtThumbnailHandler.dll
And remove the files.

Lib is only 64 bit!


The link seems to no longer be available.

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

I have tried other browses with the same result.

FYI: I had made a reference to this tool in the TSRE PDF Book. However, since it is no longer able to be downloaded, I'm going to remove the mention of it in the document. (Unless someone can supply a copy and we can host it "elsewhere" that is more dpendable.
