Didn't the thumbnails in the layers palette magnify the contents of the layer at one point? Is there a setting that can adjust this. For example if i'm working on a small arrow you just see the transparency grid of the whole doc, the thumbnail doesn't magnify the arrow so it's pointless for visual reference.

I think, you're thinking of illustrator.

Yes you can. This works in CS2, not sure about earlier versions. here's how:
Click on the little arrow circle thing in the upper right hand corner of the layers palette and select Palette Options . . .
In the resulting dialog change the Thumbnail Contents to Layer Bounds.
Click OK
Buy me a beer.
And you're done.

Your welcome Focker. On a separate but related topic, I just want to take this time to pontificate. I don't claim to know message board etiquette as this is the only one I ever post to but it is frustrating sometimes. It seems when people are genuinely asking for help or trying to help, there's an annoying few who feel the need to just send one line comments that has no other intention to hurt the requesters feelings or make themselves look like an elitist asshole. Seriously, if you don't want to offer anything constructive, don't spend the time replying. No one cares how sarcastic and hurtful you can be.
Sorry, this has happened to me and others too many times and its pointless and obnoxious.
