Possible fix for Windows 7 slow rendering of folders with pictures or

If you are using Windows 7 and have folders with lots of pictures or movies or subfolderswith them, take a look at this article: Stop/Prevent Windows 7 From Deleting Thumbnail Cache. I tried it and it does make a difference. No idea what the long term impact may be but for now it looks pretty good.

Thanks for those links Ztrucker That's a weired thing with W7. It deletes and then rebuilds a folder's cache every time it is opened. What for? Takes forever in my photo and music folders, but I've never lost anything though …yet. Another main annoyance, is why can't W7 remember page window positions and size like XP does? A great OS for all sorts of reasons, but roll on Vista Service Pack II (W8?) Maybe 2012? Cheers, Lee

Thanks Ztruker, this was annoying the hell out of me. Hopefully thumbnail caches won't be rebuild anymore.

Not a true fix unfortunately. See the guys next post here: http://www.sevenforums.com/1113952-post14.html

I'm going to leave it for now and see what happens.

Wrong thread.
