2. Launch the CR2 file into Windows live photo gallery.
3. Now from the windows live photo gallery and you have to click on ‘Include folder in gallery’.

The display of thumbnails into the x64 version of the Windows is seems to be biggest issue until and unless Canon is supposed to provide needed x64 filter with the application provided. The issue could be resolved by improving Windows rather than of ask the Canon about the solution.

People who are looking for the method to see the raw thumbnails into the x64 explorer can go for the camera codec pack. You can get the same from the official website.
