How to turn off Thumbnails Preview?

 

Hi Puma Swede,

 

In order to answer your question I must consider the operating system you are using. You should have provided the operating system in which you want to disable the thumbnails. So I will have to answer this question by considering the most commonly used operating systems like XP / vista / Windows7

 

In Windows XP Environment:

 

If you want to Disable the thumbnails of all types of video files:

 

Then press “window key + R” and write as follows:

 

regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

 

Click on ok. This will disable the thumbnails generation for all types of video files.

 

If you want to Enable the thumbnails for all types of video files:

 

Then press “window key + R” and write as follows:

 

regsvr32 shmedia.dll

 

Click on ok. This will enable the thumbnails generation for all types of video files.

 

If you want to Disable the thumbnails for all types of image files:

 

Then press “window key + R” and write as follows

 

regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll

 

Click on ok. This will disable the thumbnails generation for all types of image files.

 

If you want to Enable the thumbnails for all types of image files:

 

Then press “window key + R” and write as follows

 

regsvr32.exe shimgvw.dll

 

Click on ok. This will enable the thumbnails generation for all types of image files.

 

Windows Vista/7 Environment:

 

If you want to enable/disable the thumbnail preview feature in windows vista do the following easy to do steps.

 

Go to the Control Panel > Select Folder Options> Select View tab > Uncheck (Always show icons, never thumbnails).

 

To Disable this feature, just check the box.
