I know it's not the same thing as having Windows Explorer show the thumbnails, but I've found FastStone Image Viewer to be useful for this kind of thing.
It's free from
http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm and you can run it as a "portable app", so no installation is necessary (meaning you're not tied to the computer you've installed it on).
It displays psd thumbnails that my Windows XP Explorer won't. It'll probably display others, too, but I don't have any obscure ones to practice on.
