partial fix for intrusive thumbnails
Sometime back Microsoft posted that they were no longer
supporting Usenet group and we should use their forums. I tried, but apparently have forgotten how to do that, I'm 74. So I asked in soc.retirement as they are more tolerant of old people, and they directed me here. I'm of the point and click school and was bothered by not being able to disable thumbnails. After looking through as many Microsoft help forums as I could find, it appeared that the help applied to Windows 7, not 8. With nothing else to do, I tried to update the advice I found as follows: Windows flag key and C key. select search. select files option below search window. select show hidden files select always show icons, never thumbnails. thinking there was no other source of help. When I got to this group, I see I should have started here. Anyway, I've had enough searching help file, could someone post the procedure to disable thumbnails under Windows 8. tia -- Glenn |

For example, I tried these terms site:sevenforums.com disable thumbnails and found this article. Maybe it's similar enough to help with Windows 8. They don't always copy the recipes over to the other site. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-disable.html I tried this search, but nothing really appropriate shows up site:eightforums.com disable thumbnails HTH, Paul |
