I figured that, for those who do not feel like manually disabling thumbnail caching on every computer they use, this, if set to autorun, might be of assistance.

It is useful... indeed
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
Hmmm..interesting since I posted this last week on the Portable Apps development wiki. They plagiarized me obviously!

1. It deletes all thumbs.db files
Each thumbs.db is aprox. 14kb, and they are created on every folder that has an image in it, when the image is shown as a thumbnail instead of an icon. 14kb's is not much, but I ran this script and deleted quite a few. on a 1gb drive, those 14kb's really do add up.
2. Copy/paste into a text editor and save it as a .bat file
a .bat file is just a .txt (text) file with a different extension. Like ZGitRDun8705 said, just copy/paste in notepad, do FILE=>SAVE AS and change the extension to .bat

what is a thumbs.db file, and why are they created?
Simplifying daily life through technology
it is a "database" of thumbnails of any image files that are contained in a directory.
