Preview Pane in Vista makes file viewing easy

Preview pane is an inbuilt feature in Windows Vista which allows you to see a preview any kind of file if it has a program associated with it. This is similar to image previewer we have seen many a time.

This features come very hand when you search files like pdf, contact files, TXT files and the only way to see it is double click and open it.  Now you need to open it , the preview pane uses the associated program to give you a preview without opening the application. This will save lot of time of your to find a file , I can bet on.

Moreover the associated program is also highlighted in the pane which lets you launch the file in the application directly.
