Feature How do I disable thumbnails?

[h33]

I've just updated to the latest version of Foxit, version 5.3.1.0606. Now any pdfs on my Windows desktop show a thumbnail image instead of the Foxit icon. I want the icon back, how do I do it?
Windows 7 Professional 32bit.

Please open windows explorer, go to Organize->Folders and options->View->check "always show icons, never thumbnails".

Thanks, but I tried that. That disables all thumbnails, I want to keep image thumbnails as these are actually useful. I only want to disable pdf thumbnails. Prior to the latest Foxit update there were no pdf thumbnails at all, and I'd like to return to that.

I've found a workaround for this.
Uninstall Foxit 5.
Use Windows Disk Cleanup to clear the thumbnail cache.
Restart Explorer.
Install Foxit 4.
Make note on desktop to remind me not to update perfectly good applications unless absolutely necessary.

Ok, or you also can delete the Shell Extentions files, so it will disable thumbnails.

How do I do that then?

@h33,

If to delete Shell Extensions folder, you can browse to the installation folder of Foxit Reader. (By default it is: 'C:\Program Files\Foxit Softawre\Foxit Reader')

Thanks. I think I will stick with Foxit 4 anyway. There's nothing in 5 that I want.
