At least in the RTM, mine is 340 MB and survived after boot.

That's so new for Microsoft to listen to its users. Only needed a new CEO.

Does it have a video thumbnail feature, tho?

Wherever you want it to run from. The startup location is: C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

+pushkar1989, it's a late reply, but you can use: Backup Thumbnails.bat: @echo off :: Choose backup location for "Explorer - Copy": set location="C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\" :: Go there cd /d "%location%" :: Remove previous "Explorer - Copy" backup (2>nul: ignore...

Btw, to have the scripts run silent (no CMD window popping up), use the following VBScript and save it with the .vbs extension: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Path\to\the.bat" & Chr(34), 0 Set WshShell = Nothing Attached:

Responding from my new Windows 10 system after an about 20 minute upgrade. Unfortunately, it took out the Explorer backup on the go (even the one in Windows.old), so gonna have to recreate it. :) Anyway, to clarify, I'm talking about the video and image thumbnail preview sizes in Explorer (the...

But they're not of different size?

At least for the specific image size, taken what you said earlier:

I think they are, but the "solution" has virtually never been helpful. They keep pointing fingers at Disk Cleanup (Automatic maintenance) and 3rd party apps or corrupt user profiles. The single-folder issue might be due to concerns for RAM usage for explorer.exe (e.g. malware protection). Have...

Gonna try the Windows 10 Techinal Preview soon. Maybe it's improved, though I still won't be able to reach 600MB :).

Well that sucks. Thanks for reporting.

"Still empty"? Do you mean they were empty even before restoring the cache (corrupt files, etc.)? I'm currently at 350 MB.

Just noticed that that last time you didn't cd to the directory first, which made it say "file not found". Are you able to copy the files after temporarily closing all spare apps (including anti-virus)? E: You responded a little too quickly :).

So what do your Explorer and Explorer - Copy folders look like in C:\Users\Raiden\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\?

That would sound like something else is locking your thumbnails. Do you know how to use Unlocker to see what it is?

@BR4DDERS, no, but the lines beginning with the double colon (::) don't actually do anything - they're just descriptions for the actual work being done below them. E.g.: :: taskkill /im explorer.exe /f (this line is ignored) echo Hello. ..will only print that "Hello." (echo is the command to...

Yes, it happens from time to time. That's the exact reason the automation won't work, if you don't verify the cache is intact before shutting down. Also, basically you could also assing the icons by just creating shortcuts, but if they really work as ".exe"s (which is unbelievable), then who cares.

@tommygun, the scripts are .bat's, because that's the script file type extension. The "blue screen" happens as explorer.exe is killed to allow restoring the thumbnails. @windows8thumba, that's actually pretty clever. I never even thought of that.

No, they don't do anything on W8, and might actually prevent the scripts from working (although temporarily).
