Need a free image preview for XP

I would like something that provides a thumbnail (or slightly larger) preview of images when I hover the mouse over them as they reside in a folder in Windows XP.
Suggestions?

Hi Wedge, is the standard thumbnail view for individual folders not any good, if so why? (To help find a tailored solution)
If you have that godawefull 'common tasks' bar on the left side running in XP, it will show you a smallish thmbnail. (Tools/Folder Options/General/Tasks/'Show common tasks in folders') If you see no image in the left hand pane, click the double down arrow to the right of 'Details'
Irfanview has a thumbnail thingumy but I haven't used it and don't know if it's what you want. Couple of links on th e site that might help too.
Regards
Pete

Irfanview is great and freeware. I recomend you to at least try it.

I'm thinking he's more after a shell extension
like this. (found an old, freeware version:

Don't use one myself, so don't know what to recommend.
