Disable Windows Explorer Thumbnail View



You may have noticed that your windows sometimes freeze's when you open a folder that contains too many pictures in it, this is because of the thumbnail view of the images that windows shows. You can disable the Windows Explorer's ability to show the Thumbnail View whenever you open the folder that contain too many images.
To do this, Open regedit (registry editor) Navigate to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" and change the value of ClassicViewState to 1.
Close regedit and reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
