Can you increase the quality of folder thumbnail previews?

    Hi all,

    I recently used this registry tweak to increase the thumbnail size in windows xp. (I have a very large monitor & lots of ram)

    like this...

    Now my folders & image thumbnails are nice & big, but the pictures i have on the folders get really pixelated. The source pictures themselves are a nice size, yet windows renders them small then stretches them.

    like this...

    Does anyone know a way i can get these to render in higher quality? Are there settings you can alter inside the associated thumbs.db file?

    Or as an alternative, extra software/shell extension i can use to apply a high quality thumbnail to a folder?


    Many thanks in advance.

    Simon
