How do you get RAW files to show as thumbnails on XP please? Its a proper pain havin to open each one in photoshop to see what it is!
Ive downloaded something raw file thumbnails or other off microsoft site but it doesnt work.

I was about to suggest the powertoy but if that doesn't work the only other place is the manufacturer (canon in your case I think) have a look at the site and see what they have, they are shocking in regards to support for this though, I can't get anything to support my 350d on vista and heaven forbid them making some 64bit drivers.

Download Canon RAW and Adobe Camera RAW - can't remember which worked for me, but I can see everything just fine in Vista

I feel this is probably the best option.

i've got Microsoft RAW Image and Thumbnail Viewer 1.0 on XP, and it works fine...
if thats what's you've installed - check the options for it something about cannon raw's in it, so i gues you need to check the box for it to show the thumbnails for them

Doesn't Bridge have your folders listed so you can open them from there?

This may sound like a strange one after telling you to use Bridge but what is it for?
I've only ever opened it a couple of times and it just seemed like the file system bit with the options of doing batch actions and stuff via photoshop
