Quote - ...was the issue of  "CAN NOT SAVE FILE "..." BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY OPEN" because of the psicon.dll or the fact that you have option set to Thumbnails?

that, was the bases for the "finger-pointing" - MS said it was because of the DLL and Adobe said it was because of windows explorers "display as thumbnails" so nether would work toward resolving the issue when complaints arose, they'd just say it wasn't their fault...

personally, i don't have the DLL anymore and stopped saving the thumbnails... i use IrfanView ( "iview") to browse through my image directories... it's faster, supports most image formats and NEVER crashes my explorer.
