thumbnail problem

[nothingnoiz]

when i am openning a file with mediaplayer from my videos folder it shows all the files in thumbnail view by default but it takes sometime to load all the files.. is there any way to change the default view style into list? create another folder for your videos is not the answer :]

Try to modify the vie props. in the particular folder that the movies are held. Do this by Left clicking in the folder selecting View>Deltails(or anything besides Thumnail. This might help...but im not sure if it will help with in WMP.

No.. that doesn't work. my videos folder is already in list view mode but when the open file dialog box of an program such as media player appears and when i choose my videos folder all the files listed in thumbnail mode as default..

[Reverend]

In the open dialog box,select your video folder and click the view menu button (top right)and select "list" from the drop down menu.Now close the dialog box (don't press cancel button).Close WMP.

Hopefully the next time you view the video folder through WMP,it will remember your view settings.

does it take too much time to test what you say before write it here? :]i tried it many times before you wrote it here but it doesn't work.. open dialog box's default viewing setting for all the folders is list except my pictures and my videos folders.. i think this can be changed by using regedit or something like it.. but i don't know how!

What's your system specs nothingnoiz?

I don't give a rats a** about doing this but I tried following the directions that rev and drew gave you. Wurked like a burmese hooker on a hotdog.

Have to say now it opens up in a list. ANd I opened media player up 3 or 4 times and clicked open, and what the hell, there was a LIST of my files. But I dont give a ratz azz about this so I changed it back to thumbnails.

Mine always defaults back to the thumbnails view but it don't matter since I got a fast puter.

than try to make same thing with 300 videos in the same folder you ll understand what i mean.. i think it won't work fast as before :]and i am sure that the given directions doesn't work in my videos folder [i am talking about the folder that windows movie maker creates it's a special folder like my pictures folder]

[b:8b2b36f3b7]nothingnoiz[/b:8b2b36f3b7] check ur tools/folder options/view and make sure that u have the "do not cache thumbs marked"

this will help ur system speed when u access these folders

or try the following

1. Go to Run in the startmenu

2. Type gpedit.msc

3. Click OK and the Group Policy will open

4. Go to User Configuration/Administrative Template/Windows Components/Windows Explorer

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the long list of stuff that now shows up in the menu on the right. Double-Click on Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures.

6. Click on Enable then Apply, Ok. And now you no longer have this annoying problem.

Thumbs.db is there so that you don't need to reload a thumbnail everytime you browse that folder

thanks but this is not answer of my question. in open file dialog box i wanna see all the files in my pictures and in my videos folders in list view style as default.. tweak that you gave me makes them appear faster but not fast as list style and also i have to scroll up and down too much while i am searching for a file in thumbnail view style.. and finally that setting is unmarked as standart :]

Do u have the "remember each folders view setting" enabled in tools???

checked ur previous posts and couldnt see that u had said weather this was enabled or not

[nothingnoiz]

all apologies.. i know all of you wanna help me but as you see my english isn't so good and sometimes the things that i wrote here are not the things that i try to write :] and Reverend thanx! the link you gave me shows that there is no way to do what i want without changing the location of folders :] but finding this link is same thing as finding a solution to my problem.. after that time i try to me more gentle and relax but be sure sometimes i am working on a sentence minutes and minutes..

[Reverend]

no probs I hope you find a solution.
