This is great. Adobe have never bothered to provide thumbnail support for windows machines. I dont know if this is because they are technically incompetent, lazy or they are just trying to promote their bloated Adobe Bridge viewer application. Either way, as you can probably tell from the tone, it bugs me. Users have been screaming for this no-brainer feature since photoshop first arrived on the windows platform in 1992. Yes that's 20 years ago. Anyway, I've been applying registry hacks and messing with dlls for years to get thumbnails going in windows explorer but I finally found this tool today which is a quick and simple solution that claims to work across all versions of both windows and Adobe CS.
The installer below makes windows automatically load thumbs for all versions of Photoshop and Illustrator in the normal windows folder view.

Javascript ScrollFix: Remember scroll position after page reloads.
I've seen a tonne of great web apps with this annoying quirk: When you press save or OK on a settings page, it jumps back to the top as the page reloads. Even some high profile products like Gmail have this irritating usability issue. (Try merging 2 contacts at the bottom of your list and watch the list jump back to the top)
This little bit of javascript saves a cookie when the page is unloaded and attempts to read it and set the scroll position the next time the page is loaded.
