This tutorial is an extension of the tutorial we wrote ago: Disable and delete the thumbs.db files in Windows 7
The reason behind writing this tutorial is, Windows 7 Home Premium does not have Group Policy Editor. So, we need to tweak it from Windows 7 Registry Editor.
Do as said in that tutorial before the point “Disable these files”. Now you need Windows 7 Registry Editor to do the work, instead of Windows Group Policy Editor (GPEdit.msc).
Click the Start button and type Regedit, press Enter from keyboard and accept any security prompt:
---
Windows Registry Editor will open; Navigate to :
HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer
Now, create a 32 bit DWORD there name it “NoThumbnailCache” by right clicking on the right sided pane:
Double click and setting its value to “1” .
Exit Registry Editor. This is it.
