The thumbs.db file is a hidden file generated by the Windows operating system. Since it is "hidden," not everyone sees it (even though it exists) unless they have chose to "Show hidden files." But, what IS "thumbs.db"? It is a database file containing the small images displayed when you view a folder in "thumbnail" view (as opposed to tile, icon, list, or detail view). Feel free to delete this file any time you see it.
If you want to turn OFF this feature, here's how:
Open up the Control Panel Select Folder Options Click the View tab (see picture below) Check "Do not cache thumbnails" Click the OK button
