The default size for a thumbnail photo in Windows Explorer in XP is 96 x 96 pixels. If you find this to be smaller than you'd like, you can change it quite easily, up to 256 x 256 pixels, by using a free tool from Microsoft called Tweakui. You can download Tweakui from Microsoft at this web site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp Scroll down once there until you find Tweakui. When you download, you will get a file called TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe. Just run it to install Tweakui. Tweakui will appear in your Start/All Programs menu.
Follow the instructions at this site: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1951129,00.asp
Someplace I read that this will only affect new photos and not existing photos. I found that this changed (enlarged) the size of existing photos as well. Good news, and a little easier on the eyes too!
