DISABLE THUMBNAIL CACHING

DISABLE THUMBNAIL CACHING

Explorer feature includes to display thumbnail of images and fram of video when seeen in thumbnail viw. explorer can either creat it when u access the folder or fetch it from the thumbnail cache. fetching thumbnails from cache is significantly faster, but will consume a lots of hard disk space specially if ur system if full of images and video.

navigate to :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WIN DOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\ADVANCED

set DWORD value DisableThumbnailCache to 1 if u have low hard disk space. otherwise its good to leave it zero ... it can be useful
