There is a simple answer to anybody experiencing problems with Windows 
Explorer - Buy and install Directory Opus.  It is superb - rock solid 
and loaded with features.

I wince when I have to use a machine without it.

In particular there are no issues with showing thumbnails of images when 
there are hundreds or even thousands of them in a directory.

Then there is a preview pane, multiple directory lists, file and 
directory comparison / synchronisation, ftp client, image conversion 
tool (change format, size, rotation on single or groups of files), a 
whole macro language, batch rename with wildcards and so on.

It also avoids a lot of UAC nonsense.  Not all but it tones it down 
quite a lot.
