How to change the size of the thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

These thumbnails are often too small to give a accurate impression of the file, more so if it is a complex graphic of some sort.



What I would like to do is, what can be done in Paint Shop Pro, re-size the thumbnails to give a decent representation of the graphics



I know the desktop icon size settings has no effect on and therefore NOTHING to do with the size of the file thumbnail views in Explorer.



So is there a registry value somewhere that can be changed to do what I want?
