How do I permanently remove the default check mark in the box next to
"Thumbnails" or eliminate the category? Thank you in advance for any
assistance provided.

Hello C.B.

Give this a tÑy and see if it solves the problem................

As for diskclean up, go to Run, type:

CLEANMGR /SAGESET

Check the files you want it to clean,OR the oposite, once thru, return to
Run, type:

CLEANMGR /SAGERUN

This also works in cmd.

Come back and let everyone here know the results.


Good luck and a Happy Thanksgiving Day

Thank you very much for your assistance. I tried what you suggested but it
didn't work. The checkmark remains in the "Thumbnails" box. I haven't
rebooted yet. It's quite possible the result will be different after the
reboot. I'll let you know.

Thank you for your assistance, Stubbo. It didn't work but as stated above I
haven't rebooted yet. I'll let you know.

Problem solved. The answer is below:

"Here are the instructions.... usual registry editing "warning" applies.
Always backup the registry before making changes.

Launch Regedit.exe and navigate to the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Thumbnail
Cache

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named StateFlags

Leave the value data to 0

Exit the Registry Editor."
