title: Get Thumbnails from any file even ones that are not in the thumbs.db
body: <p>I need to extract Thumbnails from files in a Folder.
  I tried with <a href="http://www.delphi3000.com/articles/article_3806.asp?SK=" rel="nofollow">this example</a> but it doesn´t always work.
  It gives me thumbnails of images and PDF files, but not of Word, Excel, Text, OpenOffice, etc. files.</p>
  
  <p><em>Edit: What I mean with "It doesn't work" is "It doesn't return the image I expect. It returns the icon of the application used to open the file.</em></p>
  
  <p><em>Edit 2: Windows Explorer <strong>does show me</strong> thumbnails of the files I mention "not working" (.xls, .doc, , .ppt, .odt, .ods)</em></p>
