If you ever do need it, I think I have the codec you'll need for Window 7 Pro 
64bit.

I'm getting ready to replace this computer, but I'll keep it just in case.

My video card is failing. No big deal for text & viewing images, but the one computer game I like to play keeps crashing. Due to the crazy situation with computer chips, I found I could buy a whole new computer with a faster processor, more RAM and a 8GB video card for the same price as replacing an 8GB video card to fit this computer.

This computer is OLD - in the sense that "Grandfather's Axe" is old (Mother Board is at least 5 years old and I think probably closer to 10) and they don't make many video cards that will fit inside it any more ... and the ones they do make are EXPENSIVE.

The three drawbacks are it only has a 1TB SSD (M.2), which is not that big a problem because I have additional hard drives - extra 4TB drives in case my server has a drive failure, it's the Linux equivalent to RAID 6, so I can rebuild the array if a drive fails and because it has dual parity it will even allow me to rebuild it if a second drive should fail while rebuilding the array.

I have a 5TB array & a 10TB array.

The second drawback is I can't put a DVD drive in it. I know everything is online in the cloud or stored on a media server and DVD drives are OLD TECH and obsolete, but I like them and I want one in my computer. But this has the fancy glass front so you can see the pretty colors the cooling fans make. It has the bay where the DVD drive could be installed, but there's no way to open it through the cover.

The third drawback is it came pre-loaded with Windoze #@%$^&%*## 10 and *I HATE WINDOZE #@%$^&%*## 10* (I had a VERY BAD experience trying to upgrade, which is why I still have Windows 7 Pro 64bit).

I am not looking forward to the fight I'm going to have to make it DO WHAT I WANT TO DO.

John - I don't really need to see the dng files in Explorer because the only DNG files I have I also have jpgs of the same image - I use the jpgs to search of course and then grab the dngs to put into photoshop elements -

I *know* there's a "codec" that allows DNG files to be seen in Windoze Explorer that works with Win 7 Pro 64bit, because I have it installed here.

I think it's this one:

http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/win/DNGCodec_2_0_Installer.exe

But I'm not sure. I didn't install it just now because I already have it installed.

Paul, John and Igor...

My lightbulb went on at 3 am .... I don't want a converter to DNG... I need something to bulk copy my PEFS to JPG"S leaving the PEFS alone... Ugh. I just need to see what is on the PEFs when I'm browsing my image folders..  I have a feeling I don't need anything to big or fancy to do that..  I can't see the raw files DNGS  (or others)  in WIndows Explorer either.

Now that that is cleared up - I can go back to bed . But perhaps the converter will be of interest to others on list ..

You all really take good care of me..
