Yes, so far changing their size to the smallest possible is the best
work-around I've seen.
I too often use thumbnails, but both Thumbs+ and ACDSee are much preferable
for this. I have not at any point needed or wanted either windows explorer
*or* any file requester to display thumbnails. A rarely used feature of
ACDSee Image Fox was to show a *preview* of a pic if you clicked it, which
always made more sense to me than generating thumbnails for the whole folder!

I guess you've figured it out by now - the box you get e.g. in MS Paint
when opening files. But if you really want to deal with large quantities of
images you need Thumbs+ (www.cerious.com). Free evaluation available, but
well worth the $75 price.
