Disable thumbs.db File

Many of u often see a thumbs.db file uploaded when u make a torrent of a file.
It is a hidden file.The drawback of the file is that some users r unable to complete their downloads and thier download it stops at 99% or a little above.
This file is created automatically in Windows XP.To disable this file, do the following procedure.

In Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options or open the Folder Options icon in the Control Panel.
Choose the View tab, and turn off the Do not cache thumbnails option. (make a check mark on it)
Click Ok.


or You can also change this setting via Registry:

Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
Double-click the DisableThumbnailCache value, or go to Edit -> New -> DWORD value to create a new value by that name.
Enter 1 for its value.
Click Ok and close the Registry Editor when you're done; you'll have to log off and then log on for this to take effect.
