Hey...just finally upgraded from 2007 to 2009.. The one thing that I notice not entirely related to Solidworks is that all the solid works files no longer have a thumbnail image of the part/assy/drw anymore...it's just a generic Solidworks icon representing either of the three...has anyone else seen this?

It's kinda annoying as the thumbnails help me sift through all the files, now I don't have that ability anymore...in 2007 it worked just fine...

Have you checked the Show thumbnail graphics in Windows Explorer option in Tools > Options > System Options > General? It may have been reset during the upgrade.
 
No that was still checked to show thumbnails....

So I'm baffled why it's not showing the thumbnails... Though in all honesty I should turn it off anyway as it does really slow opening folders with allot of SW files when the thumbnails are shown...but it makes finding the files so much easier...
