I'm a photographer with about 95 gigs of photo scans in My Pictures.

I must have dinked something: it takes about five minutes for the
folder/thumbnail views to generate each and every time I go there.

This is so bad I've started trying Picasa2 and ACDSEE to browse instead.

In Folder Options, "Do not cache thumbnails" is UNchecked.

I think I need to go into the registry and change a value, yes?

I looked, in Explorer for a thumbnail file in My Pictures and there isn't one.

help?

TIA

OK, I'm reading around and I've just changed the default viewer to Windows
photo and fax viewer...

and I'm running MCE2005 with 2 gigs RAM, and Explorer used to just *fling
those thumbnails up.

What did I b0rk?

OK, so I ran a search in My Pictures for "thumbs.db" and found one file in
one folder, and there are very many.

How can I tell XP to go ahead and make thumbs.db all the time?
