Hi everyone,

I have recently installed Windows 8 (RTM) and noticed that it generates thumbnail cache files locally (&quotThumbs.db&quot file created in the local folder, as it used to be with Windows XP) instead of keeping the thumbnail caching features centralized as was the

case with Windows Vista/7 (e.g. in the %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsExplorer folder for Windows 7).

Is there any way to change the thumbnail caching feature backed to a centralized fashion (e.g. by keeping some thumbcache*.db files somewhere in the user folder)? Some registry values

changes, maybe?

Just a couple of things: I am talking about a LOCAL folder (no network share with write access) and I do not want to disable thumbnail caching or to hide system files as some people might suggest.

Regards,

Emmanuel
