Ok - probably no answer to this but thought I'd ask - and sorry if has been done before.
Copying load of files or folders to external for backup - part ways thru ...... "Are you sure you want to copy Thumbs.db"? ........ that darned dialog that interrupts the flow of a copy and requires intervention to continue! Arghhh! Means having to stay on hand to catch it.
Anyone know of a way to stop that pesky message? I rather doubt it but worth asking. Not even as if I view thumbs in my file listings anyways.

turn Thumbs.db off for the time being (or for ever):
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Click Tools -> Folder Options -> Open the View tab.
3. Make sure that Do not cache thumbnails is checked.
4. Click the Apply to all folders button.
5. Click OK.

Great - and welcome!
