Hi!

I'm looking for a way to disable completely the "thumbnails" view in windows xp.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to disable the caching of thumbnails, I want to kill it completely.

Does any one knows a way to do that? :helpsmili

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Advanced
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: DisableThumbnailCache
Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot


If you disable it isnt it killed then :unsure:

That just disables caching, IKE.
I'd like the view to disappear completely.
Maybe my previous post wasn't very clear... :unsure:

I changed the view mode, but f*cking windows won't remember the settings.
I don't like thumbnails cause it slows the system each time I open a folder.
Plus I don't want to let a piece of software have the last word! :angry:
