Last year I downloaded and installed a program called "SageThumbs" to get TGA previews in file explorer, I dont remember much of how I set it up but I am very pleased with the result, just thought Id throw it out there in case anyone would be interested. I dont remember if it only works for win 10 or not but just google search it if interested. Its possible Irfanview is good too or better, I have no clue.

Oh and I should say, it is not just the thumbnail, but the fact that you can view a larger preview in the preview pane of file explorer too.

Irfanview also display large thumbnail views. It's great for scanning thru a folder full of 1024x1024 textures when looking for different grasses for Links. It will also work as a slideshow. It will even play music and some types of video files now. I know for sure it plays MP3's, cause I've played them on it.

I mentioned this before when you add an attachment were it says Pace in Line at the bottom
of the screen it looks in the wrong order, but in the window its O.K
Untill you click on Place in Line the attachment does not show up in the window

The programs I use are very old but they run perfect on the XP operating system
With the Screen Print you can select any part of the screen and send it to your Picture Program
and its only a very small file, I had the picture program for about 5 years before I ever used
it, but now I would not be without it. It supports all the file types you can think of and is very
easy to use. Like I have said before if its not simple the old brain will not accept it.
Below is the system I am using on Links and it works perfect, I bought a Disc and installed XP

Just one more of my methods
Instead of having my lib file a mile long if I want to save textures
of a certain type or Alphas I create a new course file as below.
- Alphas.png (34.57 KiB) Viewed 3319 times
Make the density 500 and it makes a 16 square plot that I can use
I now place the item I want to keep and save into one of the squares
You can make a record of what they are for future use and when you
want to use one of them just load the file in and its added to the Lib
File. Once I have what I want added to the course I can delete the Lib
file so that when I open my course I just have the items I want
