Previewing WMF thumbnails in Vista Windows Explorer?

If I had known that I couldn't do something this simple, I would have stayed
with XP. This is the exact thing that makes people laugh at Microsoft. You
give us .wmf files, but we can't preview them. What is this, Corel?

Bush League.

RE: Previewing WMF thumbnails in Vista Windows Explorer?

Any word on this yet? I find it sad that in XP you could preview wmf
thumbnails but NOT cdr (corel), in Vista it is the opposite. If you change
your view to display "All Files" you can see the cdr image and then select
the corresponding wmf (providing both images are in the same location).

jpg and tiff are bitmap formats. The whole point of wmf files is that they
are vectors (like Coreldraw files) and so can be scaled without pixelation.
Essential if you use clipart.

If you have got Microsoft Office you can use Microsoft Office Picture Manager
to prevue WMF-files and then use drag and drop.
