what this file is please?

Wheels orange and Green engaged on it.

It's a caching thing for viewing pictures.

You can tell Explorer to not create those by going into:
Tools, Options, clicking on the View tab, then taking the
checkmark out of the Do Not Cache Thumbnails.

XP creates thumbnails in --> thumbs.db
