    Possible to disable the large icon over pointer when dragging files?


    It worked! thanks so much! I wouldn't have known or noticed since I did not modify the theme after upgrading to windows 10 and the opaque icons were there by default. Much better with transparency, thanks again! *Party

    Is there realy no other way but changing the theme? Any way to show small icon when dragging? Why this huge icon, it's useless... and amazingly stupid.

    Since this icon serves no useful purpose, why can't I turn it off. It just gets in the way. I just want to move / copy a file. The potential target directory is already highlighted. Any solution to this problem?

    I'm using an alternative file browser. (xPLorer2) Choose one which has the option to turn this off.
