    Bigger than 'Extra large Icons' ?


    Hello MoeX,

    Very good question and this has baffled me; i have done some research for you.

    It appears that a icon's Value (size) are in pixels and range from 0x20 (32) to 0x100 (256) with the default being 0x60 (96).
    (32) being the smallest, and (256) the "extra Large".

    However Microsoft don't allow bigger then 256 Pixels (Extra Large). Bit of a bummer really.
    There 3rd party applications available that allow you to view your photos in a bigger view, but not permanent thumbnails.

    I'm sure there is a way to make them bigger if you had edited the registry, but i DO NOT recommend this, unless you are 100% sure what you are doing. and have a Back-up and Restore Point.

    Windows Explorer will not display anything larger then 256 pixels. Even if you use Ctrl+ Scroll, 256 is the limit. No registry hacks will change that, it will still be limited to 256. A Guy
