Hi,
In some of my Texture Files for FS2002 they have a file named
Thumbs.db. These cause problems when trying to backup the files in the
folder onto Zip Disk and possibly on DVD where they seem to produce a
verify error. Are they needed as only one set of Aircraft files has
these in. Can I delete them safely.


Thanks and Regards
James

Basically they are exactly what it says on the tin as it were. They are a
database of thumbnails for the pictures in that folder.

These files are used to create the thumbnail images in the folders
where they are.
You can delete them safely, because the system will just recreate them
when it needs them.

Hope this helps
