thumbs.db is the cache for the images in thumbnail view.

And it's only showing on your computer because you have display hidden files switched on on it.

Windows generates it each time you view the folder using the thumbnail view, that lets you see the images before you open them. It won't go away unless you disable it somewhere, can't remember excactly at the moment.

xJ +, that wasn't the point though and not the reason why it is still there. It is still there because the file has the "hidden" attribute and Deano turned of the option "view hidden files". Even if the thumbnail file wasn't regenerated each time, that file would still be there.
quote:It will simply be regenerated and thus still existing as long as you didn't turn off the option listed by Vilkku.
