Disable Thumbnail Caching

Disable Thumbnail Caching
One of Explorer's features is to display a thumbnail of images and the   first   frame   of   the   video   when   seen   in   Thumbnail   view. Explorer can either create it when you access the folder or fetch it
from the thumbnail cache. Fetching thumbnails from the cache is significantly faster, but will consume a lot of hard disk space, especially if your system is chock-full of images and video.

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Set the DWORD Value DisableThumbnailCache to 1 if you are low  on  hard  disk  space.  Otherwise,  it  makes  sense  to  leave  it  at zero—the thumbnail cache can indeed be useful.



just copy & paste following code(in italic& red) in notepad


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"DisableThumbnailCache"=dword:00000001



save it as
filename->disablethumbnailcache.reg
filetype->all files

than double click on that file

done!!!!!!!!!!!
