windows 7 Is there a way to disable thumbnail caching in all except a few folders?

[News Bot]

Hello,

 

I am an A+ certified technician and I have a question about thumbnail caching. For reference I have read

this thread and others like it.

 

In order to prevent Explorer from locking folders that I'd like to modify I need to turn off thumbnail caching in most of my folders. I already know how to do that.

 

Question: Can I turn thumbnail view on in just a few folders? (NOT folder "types" such as video. I mean just a single folder.)

 

Will this enable thumbnail caching in all of Explorer so that I get the "folder in use" errors in

non-thumbed folders?

 

FYI: I also do not cache thumbnails for the taskbar. So my theme style should not make a difference... I hope. For my clients who have slow computers I normally stick to basic themes anyway. I also do not allow most programs to create taskbar thumbnails

(such as Firefox.) Let me know if there are other areas I haven't thought of.

 

Thanks for your help.
