Ok, like I mentioned; the thumbs file will NOT show up even if you have 'show all files' selected IF you're never opt'd to 'view as thumbnails' in that folder before. The first time you DO view as thumbnails in a folder is when the thumbs file will be created. If it is STILL not showing up, then you have a problem. ;-) Also, for any hidden file to show in a HD search, you must have 'show all files' checked. Have you search the MS knowledge base for this problem?
Meantime you can always delete the thumbs file from the CD after you've copied the images...assuming they are slowing up on the CD. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "graham nimmo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: > <snip> > If all you want to do is copy the images to a CD, then just > "select all" in the folder then right click and drag to the > CDRW shortcut icon, and 'copy here'.

I want to backup my files to CD - but not the thumbs.db files as they just waste space. Even with show all files selected thumbs.db does not show - anywhere! Even a global search for all files and folders refuses to find a single instance, and I know they are there taking up valuable space. What I want to do is search for them, then delete them en masse. There must be a problem with my registry, I`ll try to install ME on top of itself and see if that solves it. -- Tony ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
