Disable Large Icon when Drag/Drop Files to New Location
A large thumbnail appears when a file or folder is selected in the right pane of explorer and moved to another location. Aero view only -- no problem when in "classic" view. Help on how to disable this icon much appreciated.

In Aero view, when I click on any file or folder in the right pane of explorer and start to move it, a large thumbnail appears as I move the file/folder. Very annoying . . . and unnecessary. Disabling that function should be easy [hopefully].
This situation does not exist when in "basic/classic" view, by the way.

If I understand what you are asking, right click on your computer icon and click on Properties. Select the Advanced tab and click on Settings under Performance. Click on the Custom radio button.

Thanks guys, but neither suggestion solved the problem. I've given up on Aero view and returned to Classic view . . . and no large icon problem. | | My System Specs | | |
