Windows Explorer Behaviour Customization


Note: Editing registry directly is not safe, it can crash your windows or it starts working abnormally, so if you have good knowledge of registry only then try this.

The various information about the behavior of the Windows Explorer and its contents is stored in the registry key as below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

There is a list of values in this key that can be customized to reflect the desired behavior of the windows explorer.

e.g. If you want to increase the size of the folder icon you can change the value of ThumbnailSize which has default value to be "60".
