I find it extremely annoying (and ultra lame) that Windows Explorer will only generate thumbnails for those files whose names are visible in the window. If I open a folder full of photos and walk away for an hour, why the heck wouldn't it generate the thumbnails in the background, so that when I come back I can quickly scroll through the folder and find the photos I want?
Sure, I could import all of the photos into Picasa, but that's not the solution I am looking for. I really want to find out if there is a way to force Windows Explorer to load all thumbnails in a folder.

I can't offer a solution, but I just tried it on my WinXP SP3 and it generated thumbnails for all images in the folder, regardless of if they were visible in the window. – Hydaral – 2011-05-25T04:29:27.217
Odd, I've never seen it work in XP SP3 either. Or Vista. This is driving me crazy! :) – Dave – 2011-05-25T04:47:55.497
