XnView shell extension allows for viewing a thumbnail of the selected image in the context menu of MS Explorer. You will be able to convert and resize, and you can even edit IPTC metadata.
Why yes, this magnificent and easy to activate/deactivate extension to the context menu is so great and diverse in options it should be a top download on its own!! Who cares about the complete Xnview when you have the ability to convert a file's type with merely two clicks from the all-mighty hand? As stated in the main software's download page, Xnview could use some refurbish to appeal to modern users, but the shell extension? It is definitely a must!!
