Howdy-do, all.

Is there a way of changing the size ot the thumbnails that Windows XP-P displays in the My Pictures folder? I'd like to make them a little bigger but don't want to have to change the screen resolution to do it.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks from Ruth

If you look in your Picture Folder, the third button at the top is called "view". At the top of the options of view when you click on that button is an option of "Filmstrip" which allows slightly larger image to be scrolled through.

Desktop> My Documents> My Pictures> View> Filmstrip

Thanks Sherasi. I tried what you suggested and it does work but I have so many images it takes too long with filmstrip.

I actually found an answer this morning. It is a registry tweak:

HK Current User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer.

Make a new DWORD value named ThumbnailSize (Edit > New > DWord value).

Double-click the value and type in a number (in decimal) anywhere from 32 to 256. (I used 125 and it worked just peachy with my 1024 X 768 resolution.)

Making it smaller will display many more images on the screen for quicker perusual.

Thanks and I hope this helps someone else, too.
