The matter has comsumed my week. I can't take it anymore. Someone please help.
These Thumbs.db files... Let me introduce you to my hell:
I switched off the caching of thumbnails on my pc recently. I want to delete all
of the left over thumbs.db files generated thus far.
You'd think it would be as easy as going to search, searching for thumbs.db or *.db
and that would be the end of it. OHHH NOOO. NAAAH MATE cos dat would be too easy
no?
Search tells me, there are no thumbs.db files on my pc. But they are there because
when you go into the add files option in Nero Express you can see those 6-8k buggers
sitting there. When I delete them, they go to my recycle bin so I KNOW they exist.
It will take me years to delete them if I can't use the XP search function. Even
through msdos I can't see these files.
I have got show all files and show all system files set in folder options in windows
explorer (XP). Why in the name of Greyskull can I not see them?
Every single forum either replies with "just use XP search" or "switch off caching"
or make sure you have "show all files" - I have done all that. I'm about to get medieval
with my pc.
Help. For the love of everything that lives, HELP.
Spoonfed.
