When viewing a folder with the Thumbnail view, WindowsXP creates a thumbs.db file.
This is a cache of the pictures in the directory. You can turn this feature off and save some disk space

1. Start the Windows Explorer
2. Go to Tools / Folder Options / View
3. In the first section under Files and Folders, check Do not cache thumbnails
4. Now you can search for the thumbs.db file on your computer and remove them. No more should be created.
