making explorer thumbnails larger

[delooch]

heres an easy registry mod to make the thumbnails larger in windows explorer (winXP)

yeah, bridge facilitates image browsing a lot easier, but if youre just poking around and tired of squinting, its a big help..

#1 - Go to the "Start" menu and click "Run."

#2 - Type "regedit" in the search bar and hit "Enter."

#3 - Click the "Plus" (+) icon to expand the folders in the Registry Editor. Navigate to the following location: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer."

#4 - Click the "Explorer" folder.

#5 - Look for the "ThumbnailSize" key. If it is not there, you need to create one.

#6 - Right-click on an empty space and select "DWORD Value." Name the key "ThumbnailSize" (without spaces).

#7 - Double-click the "ThumbnailSize" value to edit the size of the thumbnails. You can choose Hexadecimal or Decimal. Decimal values range from 32 to 256, which converts to 20 to 100 in Hexadecimal values. As you increase the value, the size of the thumbnails increases. Increase the thumbnails to a size that fits your preferences.

First thing to do if you are playing in the registry is to backup before you make changes.
