Cursor icon blocking view of folders during move
This subject came up about 3 years ago in the Seven Folder when evaluating whether I should move my stable of 22 WinXP3 systems to Win 7. Never made the move since Win7, win8 and Win 8-1 seemed to be a downgrade from WinXP3.
I have just installed Win 10 on a Dell Computer and the problem seems to be still present in w10 as well.
The problem is that when I want to move or copy files or folders in Win 10, the cursor suddenly expands with a huge icon attached that, depending on what is being moved (or other criteria), blocks the view of the target folders in the receiving folder. It was stated that this could not be fixed in windows 7. It is now 3.5 years later and the problem seems to be resident in windows 10. Has anyone come up with a fix for this.
In WinXP3, the cursor appended a mini-icon to the cursor reflecting a folder or (if present) an icon imbedded in the file, but the icon was no taller than the name of the file/folder being moved/copied. This large Icon is quite annoying.
Does anyone know how to shrink the icon size so it behaves as it did in WinXP3, or better yet,get rid of the icon altogether?
