Question : disable icons in windows explorer

This question has been asked several times, but I still haven't seen a solution to the problem.

In windows Explorer in the right hand pane when in details view the filenames appear and (an hour later) the little icons appear depending on the file type.

I have no use for the little icon and the delay to load these icons is prohibitive if the folder has more than a few thousand files.

I don't believe you can get rid of the pesky icons :(
Try substituting all the file type icons with the blank (appears gray) icon in shell32.dll
