you need to upload the images that you want to the root of mavik Thumbnails:
/plugins/content/mavikthumbnails/thumbnails/
then simply add HTML code to disply the image.
the image that will be disply, just give height and width to the image to make it smaller.
then HREF it to the same image.

I've used http://www.joomlaworks.gr/content/view/17/42/ in the past though, and was very simple as the name suggest to get up and running. Seems to do exactly the same thing as the plugin you're using.
