How To Remove Thumbs.db in Windows 7

There’s an easy way to prevent further Thumbs.db
- Ensure you’re logged in using an administrator account.
- Hit Win+R, type gpedit.msc in the Run window and click OK. The Local Group Policy Editor will be launched.
- Navigate through the tree to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > then either Windows Explorer (Windows Vista/7) or File Explorer (Windows 8).
- In the right-hand pane, double-click “Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files”.
- Select Enabled (don’t make my mistake of choosing “Disabled” — you’re enabling the switching off of Thumbs.db. Not particularly intuitive, Microsoft!)
OK your way out and it’s job done — you’ll never be troubled by Thumbs.db files ever again!
