thumbs.db

I noticed in my image file "thumbs.db" file which is 484
KB in size. Get error message when I try to open and am
reluctant to delete w/o knowing what it is/does? Any
ideas?
Thanks

Delete it and then avoid opening the folder containing your web outside of
FP via Windows Explorer.

It's a small database of thumbnail images generated by Windows. If you view
the contents of a folder as thumbnails, windows will generate a thumbs.db
file in the folder to hold all the thumbnails.

Hope this helps,
