Is possible to make Vista Explorer show icons as like XP?

05-08-2008

The Windows Explorer in Vista had great changed from XP, it mainly uses the
thumbnails instead of classic icons.
Now medium "icon" mode is set in 48px, the minimum "medium" one is 34px. If
I set the icons in 32px, it acts as like the small icon mode or tiles mode as
XP.
I have tried to modify the registry, but I cannot set the Explorer to show
folders in classic icon mode like XP or Desktop.
So, does I need to hack the explorer.exe to use 32px "medium" icon?

Thanks,
Hayate Yuki
