After discovering on superuser that there is no current way to add syntax highlighting to the Windows 7 preview pane, I figured if someone else hasn't done it yet then I'll go ahead and do it myself.
Is there an API or SDK available for Windows 7 that exposes the preview pane in explorer to customization? If so, what is it and how do you think is the most elegant way to accomplish this? I would like it to read the syntax highlighting options from Visual Studio to get the users favorite colors and code theme settings.
