If you're looking for .exe thumbnails on Linux, check out icoextract and its built-in thumbnailer - that is a streamlined reimplementation with native support for 256x256 icons and large files. See issue #17 for more context.
exe-thumbnailer (formerly gnome-exe-thumbnailer) is a simple program that generates thumbnails for Windows executable files (.exe, .lnk, .msi, and .dll). It supports numerous file managers, including Nautilus, Caja, Nemo, Thunar (when Tumbler is installed), and PCManFM.
exe-thumbnailer originates from ideas found in Ubuntu Brainstorm, and was originally written as part of the Karmic-Wine-Integration spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/karmic-wine-integration
