I was moving around some of the porn today from the folders that ezpics downloaded them into into their proper homes on my Windows XP machine today when I got done before I deleted the empty folders I noticed it said there was still 25 megabytes in the folder. I checked, no pics, so I checked for hidden files and found the culprit. thumbs.db. Windows wouldn't open the file, so I went ahead and deleted the folder. I then searched my hard drive for thumbs.db and found almost 200 megabytes of files named thumbs.db. All of them were in folders where I store pictures. I deleted them to clear up some room, and I haven't noticed any adverse effects, I was just wondering if anybody knew what this file is, or it was ok to delete them?
