By default, Explorer automatically shows large thumbnails
when a folder (or search results window) contains mostly image
files. Turn on this option to disable thumbnails except when you specifically
select Thumbnails from the Views drop-down. See ???Green Ribbon
of Death,??? in Chapter 6, for another reason to use this setting.
Always show menus. This self-explanatory option basically accomplishes
the same thing as selecting Use Classic Folders on the General tab. Of
course, you can display the menu bar at any time by pressing the Alt key.
Display file icon on thumbnails. Turn this off for cleaner-looking thumbnails,
or turn it on if you want to more easily distinguish a JPG image
from a Photoshop document. Better yet, turn off the Hide extensions
for known file types option, described later in this section.
Display file size information in folder tips. Like many settings here, this
option doesn??™t do exactly what it says. Turn it on, and the tool tip that
appears when you hover your mouse over a folder icon will include
information about the contents of the folder, including names of some
of its subfolders and the size of the files contained therein. Turn off the
option, and all you??™ll get is the date and time of the folder. To turn off
folder tips altogether, use the Show pop-up description for folder and
desktop items option, described later in this section.
Display simple folder view in Navigation pane. The simple folder view
refers to the way the folder tree looks, and is turned on by default.
