Hi all

If you have Windows Vista/7 64-bit edition the PDF preview doesn't show up *
all you get in the preview pane are the words "This file can't be
previewed". 

To address this:
http://news.office-watch.com/t/n.aspx?articleid=1350&zoneid=12

or simply create and run this reg file (save as, say, "Restore Explorer 64
Preview.reg" ):

<text>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8
880-44885D7DC193}]
"AppID"="{534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
</text>

Of course, Adobe Reader 9 must be installed on the machine.
