How to delete the Thumbs.db file for good?
Filed Under Hack this! | 2,083 Views
Thumbs.db is a hidden system file generated by Windows XP when you view the contents of a folder in Thumbnail or Filmstrip view. Although it’s here to help the users access the previewed files easily, it’s still a very annoying file.
If you’ll follow the next steps, you can delete the file and it won’t come back:
Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View (tab) -> Under “File and Folders” mark the option “Do no cache thumbnails”.
That’s it, you can easily delete any thumbs without a problem and they will never return. We recommend not to delete the thumbs file from folders that contain many images or movies files, or it will take much longer to access the folders.
