Something strange is going on here. It has happened once before. I have
just been attaching some files to an email, when I had finished and went
back into the folder in each file there was a thumbnail which had no picture
(apart from the icon you get when Windows doesn't know the extension) and
was called thumbs.pst It couldn't be opened by Windows and I have no idea
how it got there!! Why did this happen and how do I rectify it please. I
had just done a Windows Update and might have blamed that if it hadn't been
that it had happened once to me before. That was when I was using some
other software that incorporates importing digital pics to convert for
knitting. Funnily enough I had imported a pic into some other software for
cake decorating but it was only 1 pic and these .pst files are in each
folder that I took a pic from for the email.
 
Lynn,

You're using Outlook Express here. Do you also use Outlook? You never
said.

Google Search returned nothing for thumbs.pst
A Search @ MSKB for thumbs.pst returned this...

Picked up on pst, I suspect.

Search Microsoft TechNet, nada.

Search MSDN Library, nada.

thumbs.db is an XP file. The thumbs.db file is generated by the Windows
operating system. It is a database file containing the small images
displayed when you view a folder in "thumbnail" view (as opposed to tile,
icon, list, or detail view).

Thumbs.db file contains the thumbnails for a particular folder.
