Thumbs Info Might Be Lost When Copying Photos to CD

[Ann]

When I am using Windows XP to copy photos to a CD, I get
the following message:

Confirm Stream Loss - The File "Thumbs" has extra
information attached to it that might be lost if you
continue copying. The contents of the file will not be
affected. Do you want to copy the file anyway?

Thumbs
Type: Data Base File
Date Modified:
Size:

Yes Skip Cancel


What is this Thumbs File all about?

Should I say "Yes" to copy the file anyway or "Skip"?

What happens if I say "Yes" or "Skip"?

Thanks so much,
Ann
