We make drawings using Autocad and similar software. To
help organize we want to display a small thumbnail of each
picture on the intranet. Since there are a large number
of these that are changed/added/deleted on a daily basis
it would be most practical if we can display a shortcut to
the folders vs. the individual files inside. Explorer
will show a thumbnail of these drawings when they are
brought up. I was hoping that you would be a solution.
Is there a better idea?
