Windows 10: Hide document thumbnails and show image thumbnails

(1) Show icons, which makes it impossible to view previews of your image files.



(2) Show thumbnails, which mean that the document files (docx, csv, txt) are also displayed as thumbnails. This makes the desktop look cluttered (in my opinion) and wrecks the user experience.



Is it possible to display the standard icons for certain file types (document files) and previews for image and video files?



Alternatively, is it possible to show icons in certain folders and thumbnails in image folders?



I am sure that I am not the only frustrated Windows 10 user who feels this way. Help appreciated.

How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7.

1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
