thumbs.db

why does XP create this file every time i have thumbs or pics in a folder? it's like a hidden file but then gets uploaded each time i send folders to my server with WSFTP

these files get pretty big sometimes (300-400k) but they are useless in the galleries and take up server space for no reason... with thousands of galleries, this adds up to LOTS of wasted storage space

so i just manually delete them all and it seems fine...

anybody got some insight into these thumbs.db files?

when you have thumbnail previews in XP it creates the thumb.db...change the view like said before to list..speeds up dir browsing as well
