Usually the video thumbnails that are generated by Windows XP results in a black screen which is of no use because it converts the first frame to generate thumbnails. Here I will show you how to enable custom frame thumbnails to all your video files including mp4 and mkv files. I read this in Neowin Forums to get the idea.
1. Download Thumbnail_enable_custom_frame (zip file, external link).
2. Run disable_default_thumbnail_generator.bat to disable your windows thumbnails.
3. Next run MatroskaSplitter.exe to install it.
4. After that go to Start -> Haali Media Splitter -> Media Splitter Settings
5. Open Options -> Explorer integration
6. Enable Thumbnail extraction -> Yes
7. Thumbnails Offset -> 300000 (Use your desired offset in milliseconds)
8. Finally run thumbnail_enable.reg.
Thats it now you will have useful thumbnails for all your video files including your mp4 and mkv files. I haven't tested this on other versions of Windows except XP.

Windows XP has a default size of 96 pixels for thumbnails in windows explorer. In Windows Vista it is possible to have thumbnails very large. Although it consumes more memory, Windows explorer thumbnail view is good for folders containing movies, pictures and music.
It is possible to change the size of thumbnails using Tweak UI Powertoy for Windows XP. After installing open Tweak UI choose Explorer->Thumbnails.
Change to the size upto 256 pixels. Also you can change the image quality of the thumbnails according to your needs.
