Just wondering, i read somewhere that with vista if you have a text document and highlight it it will show you some lines from the first part of it to help you identify it. How do you enable/use this?

This feature, that I can remember was once talked about a great deal, may have been scrapped ...

It may have been part of WinFS, and gone the way of the dodo :roleeyes

I doubt WinFS is gone. I can't believe they would just throw away all that code. My guess is that they will save it and use it in other projects.

Some forms of WinFS-related software will surely resurface :yesnod:

I just can't see this particular feature as being safe, secure, and useful enough to be one of them :P

I've had PDF documents and Word docs show up with a very small version of the document be the file icon. Haven't had that for text files though.

Interesting --- the feature may then be dependent on the quality and power of your GPU, my own card being a very basic one...

Isn't WinFS going to get put into .NET 3.0 for some parts and then (probably) the rest in .NET 4.0 to stretch out dev time.
