It is the "thumbnail", a small (160x120) JPG that the camera uses when you play them on the LCD. If you change the extension to JPG you can view it with any browser or image program. I'm sure ZoomBrowser uses it, as well as BreezeBrowser to collect EXIF data as well as quick thumbnail display. There's a web page "Why keep the THMs?" at www.rogercavanagh.com/helpinfo/13_why_thms.htm with some explanation of THMs. Since they're only 8K, there's really no space reason to delete them. If you do a search on Google with THM you'll find many people with info on the THM file. BTW How do you like your 10D? I just got mine yesterday, I moved up from a D30.
