Thanks for the link, William. While looking around in pentaximaging.com 
I learned about a vista codec for PEF - not checked because I still use 
xp, only when I have to...


http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/software/PENTAX%20Raw%20Codec.exe

Or something like it...

So a long time ago it seems I downloaded a third party Windows driver
for Win2K to view PEF files as thumbnails.  It works well and I can't
for the life of me remember where I got if from.  It was pre-K10d so it
shouldn't have known anything about Pentax flavored DNG files, either
for the K10d or K20d  However it unpacks K20D DNG's and PEF's without
any problem at all.  In fact it unpacks DNG files even faster for
display than it does PEF's.  I'm pretty sure that all it does is display
the internal Jpeg but still.


I don't know which one you have, but this one works quite well:

Also, if you shoot DNGs rather than PEFs you can take this snippet:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dng\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@={3F30C968-480A-4C6C-862D-EFC0897BB84B}

and save it as dng_thumbnails.reg (or anything as long as it has a .reg 
extension). This will allow you to view DNG thumnails in Windows Explorer.

Indeed, but only for 32bit version.
