Solved! Windows Explorer alternative with fast thumbnail rendering?

[itm]

I often need to browse and manipulate folders containing large number of JPG's (usually on the LAN). When using Windows File Explorer (on Windows 10 x64) it takes an age for the thumbnails to render. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a (preferably free) alternative to Windows File Explorer which can quickly render thumbnails for large folders of JPGs on a LAN share?

Pretty quick I think. GB cable connections/switches and 802.11ac wifi.
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out

Hmmm...bad news I'm afraid...FreeCommander previews of thumbnails over the LAN is alot slower than Windows File Explorer :0(
