Windows 7 thumbnail bug
This happens when I try to delete a folder sometimes. I just opened
the folder to see what was in it. I had moved the file out of the directory a couple of days ago. The directory had two jpg files in it that I did not move or care to keep. http://imgur.com/24gzP The only file in the directory is the thumbnail |

Otherwise, they're supposed to be centrally stored, and they shouldn't be sprinkled all over the place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_thumbnail_cache If the file Explorer has thumbs.db open, then you may not be able to delete it. One thread I was reading, someone was using "Unlocker" on it, as an aid to deleting. Another alternative, may be to delete it when Explorer isn't running. Booting from another OS could achieve that objective. But the Unlocker thing is probably easier. In theory, if Group Policy can change a behavior, you should also be able to do it with Regedit. At least, if you can figure out how. Paul |
