I use NirSoft's ShellExView program to disable any shell extensions that I don't like.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html

Just open that up, it'll populate its list, then you find the PSPThumb extension and disable it by right-clicking on it and choosing "Disable."

LeviFiction,
Thanks for the link to ShellExView. Oddly enough, SysInternals' AutoRuns (which has been my main tool for a long time) doesn't find the PSP thumbnail extension.

Yes, I think it can be eeeeeasily done...
Just take everything out on Highway 61.
