Turn off the Caching of Thumbnails in Hidden thumbs.db files: How to Disable/Remove Thumbs.db File on Network Folders in Windows? | Windows OS Hub (woshub.com)
To prevent Windows File Explorer from creating a hidden thumbnail cache (Thumbs.db fil)e when browsing folders, you can use a GPO.
1.Run the local GPO editor (gpedit.msc) or create a domain GPO using the gpmc.msc console. 2.Go to the following Group Policy section User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> File Explorer. 3.This section has three options that allow you to manage the creating of the thumbs.db file by File Explorer: ▪Turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons on network folders (prevents thumbs.db file from being created on shared network folder) ▪Turn off caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files ▪Turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons
4.Enable all three policies by changing their values to ‘Enabled’;
It remains to link the Group Policy to users (if you use domain GPOs) and update it on domain computers. To apply the policy settings immediately, run the command: gpupdate /force |
This will vary by Operating System. For Windows 10 you can access this by opening an Explore Window > Click View and you will see ‘File name extensions’ and ‘Hidden items’ turn those on. |
