thm's show up every time you shoot RAW or Adobe. They are not only neccessary for a raw playback in the cam or useful to speed up the Dimage Viewer, no, I use them to have a quick view with my explorer. So I can browse through my raw files without using DV or anything like that. All you have to do is to insert some small code lines in your windows registry. Here is a small file, that will do the work:

Just download and doubleclick this file. That's all! Beware: You must have admin privilidges when you execute this file!
