Sorry, don't know of anything else that lets you view RAW thumbnails in Windows Explorer, although there's Faststone, Picasa, etc that you can use as a quick browser.

It's odd because all you need to do is open the JPEG embedded in the RAW file - you don't need to decode the RAW itself - so it shouldn't be difficult. Not an advert (really) but the Ubuntu file browser displays any RAW file as a thumbnail. Maybe M$ are reserving the update for Vista?
