JDPower Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 C:\Documents and Settings\user\.thumbnails It contains a load of thumbnail png images and one 3.7Gb!!! png which won't open. What are these thumbnails for and can they be deleted along with this mystery 3Gb file? (WinXP Home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musical Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Mmmm I cant see a thumbnails on my User at that level in but I'm on Pro, not that I think that makes any difference. Also have you tried viewing it in safe mode, and what do the attributes say in the properties . I cant find any folders on my user thats called thumbnails in fact. And thats with all sytem and hidden folders and files showing... I can open a few odd .png files I found in my TIF which are basically wee graphic files of buttons and so forth on webpages by the look of it.... although Windoze gave me a warning that "running a system command might be unsafe... do U wish to cntinue" which of course I ignored HTHs a bit at least Musical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldog9 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 that folder is used by the GIMP. You can delete it if you have GIMP installed or ever did before. The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
