Hello. It seems to me that I have found the solution how to back .max thumbs in windows 7 explorer.
You need to add this code in the registry. Use included .reg file or code below. Be sure you know what you are doing and create registry checkpoint. Of course to get it work you need restart your pc after have finished adding registry keys.
But after you have added this code your thumbnails will not be stretched at full size. At this time I have found the only way to avoid it is remove 3dsmax.exe association with .max files. That's not a good idea but it works.
To do this you need to find and remove key named something like this:
I'm looking forward to get this solution better...

Thank you, very good, but there are some minor problems, such as the large number of thumbnail previews is not successful, there are not large max file shows a thumbnail, as well as the lower right corner of the white box should be shown as the icon with the words “max” better!
sorry for my bad english.

hey,
I noticed that while within a folder you skip from list view to thumb view.... the showed thumb aren't stretched and 3/4 of it is white..... but then, if you navigate with the explorer arrows from that folder back and again forward you'll notice that the thumbnails are displayed correctly(stretched) 😉
only few remain unstretched.
this mean that the issue in the keys is smaller than expected....
about the generic application icon showed in the thumb.... this is due that the first icon contained in 3dsmax.exe is strangely a generic app icon, while the second one is the real 3dsmax.exe icon also to find normally in: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\ui\Icons\ATS\atsscene.ico.
with reshacker.exe I edited 3dsmax.exe by replacing the first icon set... and now it's displayed correctly in thumb.
see attached small pics
PS: for the one that want be showed stretched it seam to work only a open and save of the scene..
don't forget to navigate away and then again back to the folder to view changes.
