| 88547 | 2002-10-12 06:34:00 | What the heck does the above file do in XP? Is it possible to disable its use or anything, it seems as if I've got them everywhere. |

Start | Run | GPEDIT.MSC (Group Policy Editor) Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer In the right-hand pane select "Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures" Double Click on that selected item Select "Enabled" Click OK Close GPEDIT You can disable caching of thumbnails in the Registry via the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced and set DisableThumbnailCache to 1 Whether you really want/need to ??? don't really know. Cheers, Babe. |
