No program will display a pdf popup in Explorer, merely on hover, they all need you to first activate the file - also Quick Tool (right-click). There are a couple of viewers that will display them all, pdf pics text rtf, but not in Explorer. Wouldn't it be enough for you to have page 1 as a thumbnail (view: "large icons")?:  I use Nitro Pro 6 OCR, but almost any good pdf editor will give you this feature in Explorer. For pre-viewing photos and text files, I use Quizo QTTabbar, but I cannot make a screenshot of it, to show. |

I already use this feature now, but it does not work in desktop and it does not work when I have set folder view to "details" (which is my prefered) |

@kalos:
The Windows Explorer replacement tool, xplorer², has a "Quck View" function, where it can do rather more than just show the first page of a file. For example, for any file you select (not hover) it can give you things like:
* display the draft and native content of a .pdf file.
* display the draft and native contents of a Word file.
* display the contents of a .txt file.
* display an image file.
* play an .mp3 or other (sound file).
* play a video file (various formats).
* it will also display the text in many other files (e.g., html files, script files).
The display is made in a special Quick View window that is opened when you select Quick View. All you need to do is scroll through the files to see the display of contents.
