Question about 'Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB)'

I have a question about Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB):

If you use this to stop Windows from creating these files and delete the current "thumbs.db" files, can you still use "Thumbnail View". I would really appreciate an answer as quickly as possible, since I am waiting to make a decision on whether or not to allow "Speedup My PC 3" to delete them as "Junk files". Thanks, so much. Cyndi

Yes, you will still be able to use Thumbnails view - although it may be several microseconds slower to display. You have to seriously doubt the sanity of running a utility that is playing with such trivia - asking for trouble if you ask me :-)

Do you really find the thumbnail view to be useful?
