Remove Thumb.db file

Thumbs.db is a system file and it’s not a virus. It’s a system generated file found mostly on Windows XP systems. System creates these files in each folder to cache your folder contains. Caching a folder contains will result in faster folder accessing.

You can delete the Thumbs.db file by simply dragging it to the Recycle Bin. However, the file will be regenerated each time you open the folder, which means deleting the file has little effect. To prevent the Thumbs.db file from being created, follow these instructions:


Open "WINDOWS EXPLORER" >>  go to "TOOLS" >> open "FOLDER OPTIONS"

Go to "VIEW" >> see 1st section "FILES & FOLDERS" >> click on the "DO NOT CACHE THUMBNAILS" 

Click "OK" to apply the change and close the window (or click "Appy to All Folders" to make the change systemwide).
