go to the folder with the pictures in it which are being thumbnailed.

Go to Tools, folder options

Go to view and then select "show hidden files and folders"

Delete the thumbs.db file which you will see next to your pictures. This is the thumbnail file.

When you are doing a Hardrive Cleanup on the computer an option appear it says to clear thumbnails does that mean itll delete my pictures?

I do not think so. If it does delete files, though, I (and Answers.com) am not responsible. If you do a hard drive clean up, I recommend you back your files up, just in case something goes wrong.


How do you eliminate thumbnails on your computer screen?

If you mean desktop shortcut icons, you could just delete them (right-click and selected delete or highlight and press the delete key), though it would be better to make a folder on the desktop and move them there. Of course, before you do that, it would be best to remove any software you don't use.If you mean files being displayed as thumbnails, what you do is right-click in the background and change the View options from the menu that pops up. You likely have it on one of the icon views.If you want to eliminate the capability of displaying thumbnails for files, then you would go to the folder options. On Windows 7, it is under Organize on the top left of the file explorer, and you would go to Properties in there.

What is thumbs database file?

The thumbs.db file stores the 'thumbnails' (small previews) of the images in the same folder. This helps to load the image previews faster when the folder's contents are viewed as 'thumbnails' or 'filmstrip'. You can safely delete this file if need be, however it will just be created again the next time you view the folder's contents as thumbnails or filmstrip.
