Win Me and 'Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB)'

I have a question about how to apply this advice to windows ME. Specifically, When I try to load a file from a directory into Photoshop 7.0.1 the entire program crashes. I have discovered that if I delete the hidden file "thumbs.db" from that folder, the program works fine until Windows automatically recreates the thumbs.db file again. This does not happen when I load a file from the same folder into Graphics Workshop for Windows, so the issue may be something in the interaction of Photoshop and WinME. I have not been able to find the place in Win ME where I can turn off the automatic creation of thumbnails.db. Stop Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB):
