I did a search through My Documents, and found many more of them than I thought I had.  I followed the directions that you sent me the link for, and hopefully, won't see them again!  Thanks for that link!  Somewhere, I must have done something that allowed that, but don't recall being in there to set the box to allow them to be cached.    myra herron --- On Sun, 5/24/09, Kevin Ross <kr5927@gmail.com> wrote: From: Kevin Ross <kr5927@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [COMPUTERS] (no subject) To: computers@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, May 24, 2009, 11:29 PM Hi Myra, On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a thumbnail cache is a file used to store thumbnail images for Windows Explorer's thumbnail view. This speeds up the display of images as the smaller images do not need to be recalculated every time the user views the folder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumbs.db To remove these files and stop them from coming back, follow the following instructions... http://www.pchell.com/support/thumbsdb.shtml The files are small but do take up space.
