Extra large icons in Windows 7

Question

in Windows 7, we know that in right click option "View" we have some options, one of the is "Extra large icons".

Is it possible to

1) to view icons larger when we choose "Extra large icons"

2) or add one more option to this second menu that work as extra Extra large icons.

My goal is to preview first page of PDF files without opening each one.

Answer 1

To increase/decrease the icon/thumbnail preview in Windows Explorer, use the mouse scroll-wheel.

When the folder is displayed in Explorer, right-click an empty space inside it, then select View > Large icons. Next, press and hold down the Ctrl key and at the same time scroll the mouse wheel up/down to increase/decrease the preview icon size.

This will also work on the desktop icons.

If you want to use this exact same layout for all folders, then click Explorer's File menu, then go to "Change folder and search options". The "Folder Options" window will appear; click the "View" tab. Under the "Folder views" heading, click the "Apply to folders" button and to make all your folders open up the same size.
