Jordan script support thumbnail, I guess that is a Max 2010 or .NET (or both) feature.

VERSION 2 ------------
The script is open source so you can see the trick inside.
Speaking briefly, it creates a "temp" folder into Max "autoback" folder
and temporary copy selected in List file there. And dont worry,
never more than one file there, also the last is deleted when the dialog closes.
I'm not well familiar with dotNet so I dont found a way to set the browser
in thumbnails view mod automatically, but what I found is quite interesting,
1st: settings in Windows Explorer and dotNet browser controll are not related,
and 2nd: dotNet settings is keeped somewere, because they are valid and
in next Max sessions and even after a restart Windows.
So, all you need to do is to set thumbnails view mod once (on first start)*.
[*] For more details see the video.
The script still has the option to install as macros (MacroScript),
and it's still compatible with 3ds Max 9 and higher.

I'll keep the previous version 1 for those who don't need this innovation.
