Turn of Thumbnail Caching for Faster Computer Performance

Today I have developed an interesting computer tricks for you. By default, Windows creates additional files in your memory. When the computer is on, these additional files to make your computer slow.
If you have enough disk space or if you are interested in creating thumbnails for each folder, you can pull these unnecessary files from your computer following this computer tricks:

Thumbnail Shutdown cache / Removing Thumbs.db files
A thumbnail cache is used to store the thumbnail images to view thumbnails in Windows Explorer in Windows. Each time you go to a folder containing the images and movies, Windows creates a model with a Thumbs.db file. So you can see what the picture / movie. This speeds thumbnails for displaying images such how are you do not need smaller images to recalculate each time the user sees the folder. But every photo is taken in a folder of approximately 2 kb.
To disable this function, do the following:
  1. Go to "Start -> Control Panel"
   2. Double-click "Folder Options"
   3. Click the "View" tab
   4. Check the "Do not cache thumbnails (Windows XP)  Alternatively, turn off the icon show previews of files "check box (in Windows 7)
  5. Click Apply and then click OK 
Clear thumbnail cache recovery in Windows
On Windows, the thumbnail cache db files can be found in the hidden system folder:
C: Users username AppData Local Microsoft Windows Explorer
If the thumbnails in Windows Explorer is damaged and does not display correctly, you may need to clear the cache of the image or thumbnail cache files has become too big and wants to free hard disk space. To do this, you can follow these steps:1. Open Disk Cleanup (Go to Run, type cleanmgr)2. Select thumbnail and then click OK.3. Click on the Delete Files button.4.
