Friend,
I have a directory of PNG images that I use in my job as a software
developer. The directory contains approximately 1500 files and each file
contains a 256 x 256 image. I've become accustomed to opening this directory
in Windows Explorer, selecting View | Large Icons, and visually purusing the
list of images. A little thumbnail of each image appears in the file pane
and I can scroll up and down to view them.
The problem is that the visual image associated with a given file isn't
actually shown until several seconds after the file is actually scrolled
into view. Instead, a default Vista image of a bunch of flowers is shown as
a placeholder. This makes it difficult to quickly scroll up and down the
list of files while glancing at each image. Is there a way to get Vista to
cache all of the 1,500 thumbnails in memory? If I could do this once each
morning when I open the folder, it would make my life a lot easier.
