I’ve been searching a while for this (XNVIEW with some plugins; mystic thumbs; not of them seem te work) but nothing valid came up. But DesignConnected created an app that can do it. You should check it out: http://connecterapp.com/

xnview does the job, but i found this thread on area

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-3ds-max-design-general/windows-7-max-thumbnails-in-explorer/td-p/4155345

it works so far the thumbs are small and i don´t exactly know what to delete in the registry.
…the whole key of the .max connection in the HHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ??
i have here three sub-entrys…
1- open with progids
2-persistent handler
3- shellex

hope someone can help
