How to delete Thumb.db hidden files?
1. Go into Windows Explorer.
2. From the "Tools" menu, click "Folder Options". 3. Click the "View" tab. 4. Put a checkmark in "Do not cache thumbnails." 5. Click "OK". These steps won't remove the current thumbs.db files from your system, but they will prevent new ones from appearing. Use this command in the parent folder to remove all Thumbs.db files. del /s /ah Thumbs.db John -----Original Message----- I would like to know how to delete Thumb.db hidden files. I have many picture directories and everyone contains this thumb nail database. When I backup to CD then all these files are there too which take several Mb of space. I have to manually delete each file, which takes very long time and usually the program crushes before I am finished. Is it possible to make it happen that you can search for these files (shoe hidden does not work) and delete them in bulk? What about del C:\Thumb.db /s/h in *.bat file (I forgot the syntax) I would appreciate your help. Jan . |
