Vista - Windows Explorer - Preview

A recent Microsoft note '8 timesaving tips for Windows Vista and the 2007
Microsoft Office release' pointed me to a way of previewing a file etc,
without actually opening the file. This facility would be very useful to me;
BUT.... when I go to START<COMPUTER<ORGANIZE<LAYOUT - I should then see an
option for PREVIEW. I don't. Anyone know what the problem is, and how I can
fix it please.

Open Computer and select Organize/Folder and Search Options. In the top
section under Tasks, select the Show Preview and Filters option. This should
make the Layout/Previews visible.
