Hi Vito, not exactly a Windows Update question, perhaps you should post next
time to a more appropriate NG. In answer to your question, this is for Windows
XP.
Change the size and image quality of Explorer Thumbnails (Windows XP)
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer
and set ThumbnailQuality (DWARD) to 50 for low quality images or 100 for high
quality.
Set ThumbnailSize (DWORD) to the size of the thumbnail in pixels, if you set
this to 32 for instance, the thumbnail will be 32 x 32.
Example:-
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer]
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer]
Value Name: ThumbnailSize, ThumbnailQuality
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Size in pixels, Quality Percentage
Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going edit

HOW TO: Back Up, Edit, and Restore the Registry in Windows XP
Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require
you to reinstall your operating system. Use the information provided at your own
risk.
