== GET RID OF THUMBS.DB FILES IN WINDOWS FOLDERS ==Thumbs.db is a system file generated automatically by Windows XP when you view the contents of a folder in “Thumbnail” or “Filmstrip” view. Thumbs.db contains a copy of each of the tiny preview images generated for image files in that folder so that they load up quickly the next time you browse that folder. Thumbs.db also stores your settings with regard to thumbnail and filmstrip view. Despite the fact that Thumbs.db is a hidden system file, it annoys people because it tends to show up in places where it’s not wanted. Many times you’ll try to zip up a folder full of images and e-mail them to a friend or upload them to an FTP site, and Thumbs.db goes along for the ride.To stop your computer from generating and regenerating future Thumbs.db files, do the following:If you’re on the desktop…*Click Start*Double-click Control Panel*Double-click Folder OptionsOr, if you have My Computer open and are browsing any folder in your system…*Click Tools (next to File, Edit, View at the top of the screen)*Click Folder OptionsAfter performing either of those two operations, the “Folder Options” window will open up.*Click on the View tab*Check off the circle next to Do not cache thumbnails*Click the Ok buttonOnce you click the Ok button, your computer will cease to generate Thumbs.db files.[[Category:Windows]]
