Writing a Plug-In for Windows Explorer

[Deluge]

I want to write an explorer plugin for Windows that will display thumbnails for Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) files.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics

Does anyone know of a good source of information on how to approach this? Is it possible to do in C++, as I do not know any C#? Also, I'm not that familiar with Win7, does it support svg files in explorer?

Windows 7 should support this function. I'm pretty sure if you set the icon view to thumbnails it will do what you are asking. If I'm misunderstanding you please correct me.

Look up explorer pluggable protocol. I've used it. It's a royal pain. It (eventually) worked. It was the recommended method, but poorly documented.

svg is a kind of XML, you can use a XML parse lib such as tinyxml to do this.
