Explorer Thumbnails - how do I view them bigger?

[Laura]

Hi, our scanner sends a scanned image to a file in explorer. When I
go into explorer and into the folder and choose the thumbnail view of
my folders I find the thumbnails are too small for me to see with any
clarity, is there a way of making them bigger and clearer??

We have just found a free download on the internet called TweakUI, we
are thinking this may do the trick, does anyone have any experience of
this??

Yours hopefully

TweakUI
[+] Explorer | Thumbnails |
Thumbnail
Size (pixels):

Thumbnails
[[The image quality slider control sets the fidelity of the thumbnail
images. Higher quality thumbnails require more memory and disk space. This
is a per-user setting. This setting applies only to the new thumbnails.
Previously created thumbnails retain their original quality setting.]]

A note about TweakUI and thumbnail size.

"Keep in mind that higher quality and larger thumbnails require more disk
space, which is not usually a problem, but they also take longer to display.
Changing the quality does not affect thumbnails that already exist on the
file system."

TweakUI will work as mentioned, but you can also use the Film Strip view
to see a larger image of each picture with thumbnails displayed in a row
below.

I recollect you don't want to go beyond a certain size. I am not on XP
right now so I can't check, but I think it was 192?

Hi Rock and Wesley, Tweak UI worked a treat, I am not sure how the
film strip works, so have yet to try that, let me know where to look
for it and I will give it a go

Click View, Filmstrip. If that isn't an option, right-click the folder,
click "Properties", "Customize" tab, under "Use this folder type as a
template", select "Photo Album".

Open a pictures folder | Click View | Click Filmstrip

Or open a pictures folder | Right click a blank spot | Click View | Click
Filmstrip

You can view your pictures as a filmstrip in any My Pictures subfolder or
any folder customized as a pictures folder.

Filmstrip view is available in picture folders. Your pictures appear in a
single row of thumbnail images. You can scroll through your pictures using
the left and right arrow buttons. If you click a picture, it is displayed as
a larger image above the other pictures. To edit, print, or save the image
to another folder, double-click the picture.

Open folder | Click View | Customize This Folder | Select Pictures or Photo
Album

Filmstrip View Is Not Available
