This can be done:
one-by-one, in a detail panel showing details about a selected file; in Windows 98 a HTML-file can be edited to customize the detail panel, e.g. the size of the thumb view
of all files in a folder, with the view-miniatures setting
within a folder pictogram, of up to four files in that folder
Windows Explorer of Windows 95 supported two modes of folder browsing; opening a new folder in a new window or opening a new folder in the same window. They can be set in the Folder Options dialog box. With the former setting, folder sizes and views are automatically set according to the contents of the newly opened folder. For example, a folder with two files is opened with a smaller window than that of a folder with ten files.
In Windows 2000, folder browsing windows still automatically resize, but they are usually a little bit too small when the status bar is visible. "List" view is not automatically applied to file-plenty folders. In Windows XP, Windows Explorer even doesn't resize the window.
