it wants to lick you O_O

What is the folder view setting? Are you talking about this thumbnail in the folder or at the bottom of the screen?

i dont seem to have this problem with XP...

It's a [usually] hidden file that stores thumbnail information so that you can view all the images in a folder at once.

Turn it on/off by Tools Menu>Options>View Tab and toggle "Do not cache thumnails" as appropriate.

Erm, what's wrong with Windows XP?  Unless you're a techie, there isn't really anything better for general use.

I couldn't agree more with the stable part - Debian crashes more often than XP on my system.

on the topic of WinME...

(http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~gandalf/20040516021543.jpeg)
a screenshot of a japanese WinME, but you can understand the important parts...

i think the guy was advised by other people to reinstall WinME, or to just buy a new comp...
altho my reaction when i first saw it was, how could it report as 0 when obviously something is in the memory and something is keeping the comp running...

Meh. If the machine is running okay, why worry?
