How to change icon size for List/Detail/Mosaic/Tile View in Explorer for Windows XP?

from WinCustomize Forums

That's it people

I want to change the icon size for the differents views in explorer in Windows XP. As you know you can choose the resolution of the icons in the desktop, but it doesnt changes the icon size in the explorer.

I can't find any program or option for doing this

I really want to have 32x32 icon size for details and list view and for example 128x128 or 96x96 for mosaic/tile view. Don't worry because I have build a shell32.dll with icons in higher resolution.

Anyone knows how to do it???? I prefer doing that without any third program, manually changing register

Thanks!!!

Thumbnail extractor for .ico files is broken (well, not really, there is actually no good reasong why it should be perfect, because .ico files are not useful on their own for normal users). Just ignore the thumbnails. And AFAIK the size in list view cannot be changed; in Vista it is determined by your set DPI, hence you can have for example 20x20 icons if you set resolution to 120 DPI.
