    Disable thumbnails that appear when you drag a file in File Explorer?

    Also I just managed to make thumbnails on hover transparent. I don't know specifically how I did it.

    Disable thumbnails that appear when you drag a file in File Explorer?

    There's the cut and paste RIGHT CLICK solution. This is how I typically move things about.

    But I'm not sure I understand you. In some circumstances my dragged items are transparent. In this example below, the generic icon isn't so transparent. But by hovering over Desktop icon, an entire area turns grey to indicate I've made a selection.

    So I can see what I've chosen without the PDF icon covering that actual destination folder... solving your problem?
