Tweak Windows XP - Disable Thumbnail Cache


Bookmark and Share
 


Windows XP has a elegant feature for image and video files that creates a "thumbnail" of the image and the very first frame of the video file and then put this captured frame or image as the icon for the file. Windows Explorer can do this thing in two different ways. Firstly, by making the thumbnail at each time you open the respective folder and secondly, by loading the thumbnail from previously saved thumbnails which are placed in the cache which we call thumbnail cache. With the passage of time, system has a large collection of the thumbnails or very large cache memory for them. So in order to increase the opening time of the folders you have to delete this cached memory.
