    Font size in preview pane

    How do I set default preview size in Windows explorer preview pane? To clarify - size of text / file contents being previewed, not size of window or preview pane itself. I am able to do it for each file by Ctrl+scrolling mouse in and out, but it doesn't stay that way. Changing screen resolution doesn't help.

    Thanks

    Fred,

    Thanks for taking the time to respond to this. I have seen these solutions in other posts, and, as other users noted, this affects text size everywhere, not just in preview pane, and that is not ideal. It is unfortunate that there is no setting for this.
