PDF rollover preview in windows explorer - need assist...

I have QTTabBar, which for me is like the best explorer add-on EVER. Adds tabs to windows explorer & folder previews and a bunch of other stuff and even works with ActiveSync (unlike other explorer replacements, like Directory Opus, which sort of works but when it comes to the very troublesome activesync, it's buggy as hell).

QTTabBar also adds a mouseover preview for files which explorer can produce thumbnails for, like jpgs, bmp, mpg, ini, txt, etc. Since I have Acrobat Professional 8 and I do get thumbnails for my pdfs in Thumbnail View, I should be able to see a mouseover pdf preview - but I don't.

Is there something I need to do, maybe registry tweak, to make .pdf thumbnails respond to an add-on in the same way that jpg & bmp thumbnails respond? The idea is to have 'Details' View across the board, so I can just mouseover icons and see what's what, like I do now with image and video files.

Anyway, that's my stupid dilemma. Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance...!
