Windows 7, Folders keep kinda scanning

dnme · 2010-09-21 21:46:30

In windows 7, I notice that when I'm in file explorer, the path box (where it lists file paths at the top of the window) keeps running a green kinda status bar like thing across from left to right. What is this annoying sluggish feature? how do I disable it?

i think that's the thumbnails loading.
do the following and it should stop being slow
Explorer> Organize> Folder and Search Options> View> Always show icons, never thumbnails
