anyone know how to do it?
i know on xp machines you can set DisableThumbnailCache to 1 or fix it in a menu someplace, but on 2000 machines the same isn't true.

Disable thumbnail caching (thumbs.db)
When you switch to thumbnail view, Windows creates hidden thumbs.db files (thumbnail cache) to speed up access to the thumbnails. This is nice but these files also contain the thumbnails of deleted pictures. You can delete the files, but Windows will recreate them as soon as you go back into the folders. You can, however, tell Windows not to cache thumbnails.
- Control Panel > Folder Options
- On the View tab, check Do not cache thumbnails

I don't remember there being an option to disable the thumbnail cache in 2000 and I haven't come across anything online either

There is no option for it.
