Viewing NEF (Nikon RAW) files in windows.

I can't believe that I only just found this. It's a Codec which allows you to browse and use windows picture viewer with NEF files. No excuse not to shoot in RAW anymore.

Thanks Peter.
I usually use irfanview thumbnails to just view my photos, but this could make life a little easier.

It's great, I can plug the camera card in and get thumbnails immediately with Windows Explorer. Before I had to copy them off and run a separate viewer program. Perfect.

Ahhh i use LIghtroom, couldn't live without it now I'm also on a mac, just to be awkward LoL.

Useful to know that though for friends who shoot jpeg for that reason
