I would like to mention something

The reg value should be enter in Decimal & The default thumbnail size value is 96.

For Newbies & those who're too lazy Download the enclosed zip file, extract the files & double click on the half.reg to get small sized thumbnails & double.reg to get large sized thumbnails. Double click on the default.reg to get back the windows default sized thumbnails.

For download look at the bottom of of this post
