Preview sense, you want to show a preview of word document, html, etc?

Well, OP told you: any, it could be understood in only one way... :-) Please see my solution... :-)

you have to say for which extension you want the preview because all the extensions at a time is not possible

Impossible? Good point, but... there is a variant, please see my solution... :-)

Yeah but SA your solution is typical MS, technically correct but absolutely useless (I need a smiley here).

If you are not joking about any extension… (extension itself means nothing, moreover, there are no real "extensions" in modern file systems including NTFS, but that should mean that the file format could be anything at all); so, if you really mean any extension, the only possible way would be treating a file as binary regardless if it structure and presenting is in some human readable way, for examples, bytes could be presented as pairs of hexadecimal digits, base64 will also do, as a bit more cryptic variant.

Yes, I understand it's quite useless, but you know, the answer is defined by the question, no more, no less. :-)
