I downloaded this programme a year oir so ago,that allows you to view your drawings in your windows explorer when its set to web page view,rather than opening the drawing via AutoCAD or volo view.This is only really of use to people who have slow PC's and wish to view their drawing without opening it,can take ages on a few of our ancient PC's to open a drawing!The programme was called drawing exlporer,but I for the life of me cant find where I downloaded it from :?

I know what you are talking about, but I can't find it anymore either. After downloading it, you have to replace a file in the windows directory or somewhere with a file that is included with the download. It will preview .dwg's just like a bitmap or whatever in your Windows Explorer.
I took it off my computer because it wasn't getting along with Windows XP Pro.
