I noticed when I tried out Vista that it would display image files on the desktop as the actual image instead of a generic icon.

Is this possible in XP? am not going to switch to Vista for that .. or any other reason. LOL.

If this is like other addons from that site, you should be able to unzip the file in a folder, right click the .inf file and select install.

Be warned, it doesn't come with an uninstall. I've just now downloaded, installed and it works as advertised for me.

Hmmmm not able to get this file to open, even after attempting to open it with winzip. Any suggestions?
