You mean seeing preview thumbnails when viewing a folder and Windows Photo Gallery? That's what the codec does....

If not, what's the name of the program that you mean by "windows own RAW viewer"??

No problem :)

I'm pretty sure (although I'd happily stand corrected) that the Windows plug in (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/raw.mspx) that allows you to view thumbnails of RAW files is only for XP and not Vista
