By default the Icons, Tiles, and Content settings have the folder icon as an open folder with little thumbnails of whatever's in that folder sort of "spilling out" so you can see them. To change this, right click in the folder area, go to View, and select either List or Details.

Oh, for that i'm not sure... you might have to swap out the icon file used by Windows for folders in thumbnail mode. And I dunno how to do that :/

Yea thats why. I have replaced it with a leopard style folder using TuneUp Utilities, and it works in thunbnail mode, and in list/detail mode, but not when its large icons, med, ect.

Hello Michael,
The only workaround that I know for this is to replace the individual folder icon for each and every folder that you do not want a thumbnail previews on for without disabling thumbnails views for all files and folders. It will work in all icon view modes. Of course this is really only easy to use/do if you want to do this with a few folders and not all of them.

DON'T show Window's contents when dragging!? I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this on 7! Driving me mad... In XP / Vista it's as easy as right click, properties, advanced settings under where you change the Window colour etc then untick the box which says 'Show Window's contents whilst dragging' at least I think that's right!... |
