    Minimize and thumbnails


    Hi,
    I just got a new Dell computer with Win10. when I minimize a page an icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the taskbar (?) and a thumbnail picture appears at the right side of the screen. I don't want the thumbnails and I haven't found a way to stop them with out stopping all thumbnails. I just don't want minimized pages to show up on my desktop.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Stop Windows from automatically deleting thumbnail icons.

    Not trying to step on your toes, but your comment is totally 100% False.

    Seriously, you are sending this guy on a useless wild goose chase.

    This is the real facts and how to stop it for good. Mine is over 2GB and not going anywhere from now on.

    Stop Windows from automatically deleting thumbnail icons.

    I naturally wonder whether you are official spokespersons for Microsoft. "We suggest..." "Update us..."

    Another group of your team members [They call themselves Xylee Del.] reports that the deletion of thumbnails is a designed-in automatic feature of Windows 10, intended to reduce hard drive clutter.
