When I upload a folder image to my site via FTP, there is a file called Thumbs.db go along with it. What is that file? I wondered.
What is Thumbs.db?
Thumbs.db is a file generated by WindowsXP each time you view folder contents in “Thumbnail” or “Filmstrip” view. This file is a cache file which use by WindowsXP to load up faster the next time you browse that folder.
How to remove it permanently?
You can delete Thumb.db and send it into Recycle Bin but it will keep appearing because by default thumbnails cache is enable in WindowsXP.
