Quick Tip-Windows xp thumbnail size

I ran into this and it has helped me so I thought I'd share it. If you want to make the thumbnails in explorer viewable on a high resolution monitor making part searching in windows a little easier do the following: To control the thumbnail dimensions, go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer. Make a new DWORD value named ThumbnailSize. Double click the value and type in a number in decimal anywhere from 32 to 256. Of course 256 is the largest and make sure the decimal radio button is selected. By the way if you don't know what HKCU is you shouldn't be messing with the registry in the first place! Mike

Or you can download Microsoft's free PowerToys Tweak UI it can set this for you plus you get to control a lot of what can be really annoying standard settings.
