database file in wrong place

[brian]

thought i'd cusomise a new folder called games, so i
right clicked on it ,chose 'customise this folder',
then 'choose pictues', then 'My
pictures', 'sample', 'Blue hills'. Now I've got a 8kb db
file on my games folder. really just want to put it back
to how it was

Hi Brian,

Go back to the properties of that folder, on the customize tab click on
"restore default". Then you can delete the .db file.

The customization you did turns on thumbnails for the folder. To reset
the image customization, right click on the folder and select Properties.
Go to the Customize tab and click Restore Default. Then open the folder
and select View and make sure that Thumbnails is *not* selected. You can
then delete the thumbs.db file that is in the folder.
