re: Question about 'Disable the automatic display of thumbnails in certain folders' Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 2:48 am Posted by Yap (4094 messages posted) try this... Copy and paste all between below two red lines to notepad Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU\] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell] "BagMRU Size"=dword:00005000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam] "BagMRU Size"=dword:00005000 File name: DelBags&Rez.reg Save as type: All Files Double click on DelBags&Rez.reg to merge it into registry... This will reset all folders customization as when you start windows at first time and increase the number of folder view settings windows should remember to 20480 (decimal) folders.

I've also disabled thumbnailing in Windows using regedit, and that doesn't help either.

I never did find a way to fix that, but I recently reformatted because of other problems and it's no longer an issue. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Question about 'Disable the automatic display of thumbnails in certain folders' Tuesday, December 20, 2005 at 3:42 pm Posted by Jerry (1 messages posted) Yap's registry patch doesn't work for me either. For one thing, it won't delete the BagMRU and Bags keys if they have subkeys under them, which I have. But even if I manually delete these keys and their subkeys in Regedit, they still pop back and I still can't get rid of the auto display of thumbnails. Is there any effective solution to this problem? On Saturday, July 23, 2005 at 12:30 pm, Amber wrote: >I did try it, and unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 8:55 am Posted by Vivian Shih (3 messages posted) I'm having trouble viewing the preview picture in thumbnail view in all my folders. I was able to view a small preview of the pictures in the past (when viewed in thumbnail mode). So I could see what the picture is before actually opening it. But now all I see are icons of the program the picture would open with once I click on it. I'm getting annoyed at needing to open every file to see what the picture is. Filmstrip doesn't work either. Any help?? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: How to enable thumbnail preview?
