I am in win7. and if I go into any folder I have photos or videos or graphics I made or anything I see Thumbnails of all of them.

Now I just read on the net that if you turn off the SHOW Thumbnail feature you will speedup seartching in folders.

And I know why as you look in the folder some of the Thumbnails take some time to show up and display.

And I know there is a file called Thumbs.db that the system keeps Hidden in every folder.

And this file is what holds the information about what every Thumbnail will look like so the system will look at the Thumbs.db file when you open a folder.

But one thing when you close a folder and are not looking at any photos or anything and you go into a Program to START doing your work the Thumbs.db file is not still in RAM?

Am I right the system only opens and looks a the Thumbs.db file when you go into a folder?Turn off thumbnail in Explorer...I believe it's either under View or Tools in the Menu bar...If I turn it off in Explorer Window will this turn it off for all folders?Beginning with Windows XP, thumbnail caching and thus, creation of Thumbs.db can optionally be turned off from Windows Explorer View Menu, Folder Options and checking "Do not cache thumbnails" on the View tab.

If I turn it off in Explorer Window will this turn it off for all folders?

It will turn off creation of thumbs.db for all folders but it will not DELETE thumbs.db files that ALREADY exist. To do this type this at the prompt

Code: [Select]del /s /q /f /a:h X:\thumbs.db
Replace X with the letter of the drive.
I Opened Windows Explorer and it was in Tools.
Folder Options and then I clicked View Tab.

I turned ON ALWAYS Show Icones Never Thumbnails.

And this will go though for all my folders? Quote from: nymph4 on February 02, 2012, 01:21:43 PM
