Thumbs.db is a system file generated automatically by Windows XP when you view the contents of a folder in "Thumbnail" or "Filmstrip" view. Thumbs.db contains a copy of each of the tiny preview images generated for image files in that folder so that they load up quickly the next time you browse that folder. Thumbs.db also stores your settings with regard to thumbnail and filmstrip view.
Despite the fact that Thumbs.db is a hidden system file, it annoys people because it tends to show up in places where it's not wanted. Many times you'll try to zip up a folder full of images and e-mail them to a friend or upload them to an FTP site, and Thumbs.db goes along for the ride.
To stop your computer from generating and regenerating future Thumbs.db files, do the following:
If you're on the desktop...
Click Start
Double-click Control Panel
Double-click Folder Options
Or, if you have My Computer open and are browsing any folder in your system...
Click Tools (next to File, Edit, View at the top of the screen)
Click Folder Options
After performing either of those two operations, the "Folder Options" window will open up.
Click on the View tab
Check off the circle next to Do not cache thumbnails
Click the Ok button
Once you click the Ok button, your computer will cease to generate Thumbs.db files. If you delete any of the existing Thumbs.db files, they will not return. Be forewarned though, if you browse a folder that contains a large quantity of image files (or extremely large image files), it will take a long time for that folder to load even if you have previously browsed it because the thumbnail images will not have been cached in Thumbs.db.
