What is a thumbs.db?
How is it created?
I am assuming it is thumbnail database? I see it show up on my file list when I am using ws-ftp, and also I see it when I copy files from my hard drive to Zip disks.
But, I do not see it when I use Windows Explorer to look at folders.
They are a database file containing the small images displayed when you view a folder in "thumbnail" view.
WS_FTP happens to be one of the programs that uses and reads Microsoft's thumbs.db if it is available.
NOTE: You need to be able to view hidden files to see the Thumbs.db file
Deleting them doesn't really gain you anything except to save a little space. If you do delte them they can be re-created by clicking the folder in Windows Explorer, and then clicking Thumbnails on the View menu.
