WinXP Home thumbnails

How come some of my picture thumbnails
are low quality b&w, while some of them are good
color?

We need more information to answer your question.

What kind of thumbs are we talking about? Where did they come from? What
is their resolution?

The resolutions are anywhere from 640x480 to 1600x1200.
All of them come from a kodak and an olympus digital cameras.
They are also pictures from the web, wallpapers, and etc.

If you have TweakUI for XP, run it. Go to the Explorer section, then
Thumbnails. Move the slider down a notch or two. If you don't have TweakUI
installed, you can get it from
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

A manual edit is to click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer

Look in the right pane for a value called ThumbnailQuality. The default
value should be 5a. If its not at 5a, then double click ThumbnailQuality
and change it.
