'thumbs.db' folder problem

[Guest]

Hi, I try and want to copy a folder of pictures onto a CD and I get this pop up which says that I have included 'thumbs.db
and I try but can't get the folder ever onto a CD. I have never had this problem before, what can I do? I looked at my previous archived folders and they include that 'thumbs.db' folder.
Thanks

Hi Brian,

Turn off the setting to cache thumbnails (Folder Options) and then delete
the .db file.

It has additional 'metadata' that CD burning programs can't burn.
Usually they warn but allow the file itself to copy if you say OK. It
does not matter that much anyway - it is only the database of thumbnails
used to speed opening the folder in Thumbnail view
