Tip Thursday: Preview Pane in Windows Vista
One of the new additions in Windows Vista is the new Preview Pane.
The Preview Pane can be activated in Explorer by navigating to Organize » Layout » Preview Pane.
Using the Preview Pane you can browse readable views of various documents or, with media files, preview a few seconds of content.
This becomes extremely useful if you are searching for one particular document, do not know the name but have some idea about the starting content.
The Preview Pane is available in the Documents Explorer, Music Explorer, and Pictures Explorer.

Windows preview pane does not obey the “remember each folder’s view settingsâ€
Any idea how can I make this work?
In search window and under the email tab I need to have the preview pane active. However, if I enable the preview pane on this view it goes to all views in Windows Explorer!
Thanks
Christos
I don't believe there is a way to set this Folderwise. It is similar to having the explorer tree view enabled or not, which is Windows-wide setting
It appears that you can change the preview setting for each folder without changing the rest.
Right-click and select 'Customize This Folder'
Make an 'All Items' folder not have a preview pane.
Make your photo and music folders have a preview, etc.
Once you set your 'All Items' folders to not have the preview pane, most of your folders should go back to that.
It worked for me.
