I have a question about Stop
Windows from saving the thumbnail cache (THUMBS.DB):
Thumbs.db remain hidden even though i have selected 'show hidden files and folders'...I
uploaded a torrent to a website, and one of the peers who downloaded it mentioned
that two of the files (both of them thumbs.db) were identified by counterspy as spyware...i
checked for the files in question but they were not on my hard drive in the folders
where they were reported to be...however, i noticed that they were listed in the
list of files in the torrent i had uploaded...i also noticed that, when i right-click/properties
on the two folders that are supposed to contain these thumbs.db files, they each
say that they contain 1 more file than i can see within the folder itself...these
extra files must be the thumbs.db files that are being reported as spyware, but how
am i supposed to delete them when i have already selected 'show hidden files and
folder' and they remain hidden...please help, i'm at my wit's end.
cheers,
- rvw
