    Pretty simple error, I get no thumbnail for PDFs.

    - Always show icons in Folder Options is unchecked
    - Adobe Reader settings is pretty much default

    Thanks!

    This problem existed in Vista x64 as well. Adope PDF is still only 32bit, thus the explorer plugin for PDF thumbnails is only 32bit. Use the 32bit explorer and browse to the directory of the PDFs. You should now have thumbnails.

    Thanks. Is there any difference between the x86 or the x64 Explorer? If not, I might just use the x86 Explorer permanently.

    Well, you should use the x64 explorer since that version is the one that is integrated into the OS. The x86 one was provided for plugin compatibility.
