Doug & Paul are both correct, and I see that this thread is 4 1/2 years old - so why hasn't the obvious correction been made? The annoyances.org statement on how to stop windows from creating the Thumbs.db files is confusing and needs to be changed. I'd suggest that whoever is procrastinating on correcting this just go ahead and make the change that Paul has suggested. It is much more clear and accurate, and would be a great service to your readers/visitors/those like me, coming here to seek good advice. Thanks!
