I didn't think newer versions of Windows generated Thumbs.db either (well I think they do, but in some centralised location I thought rather than in every single individual directory).

"Newer versions" ≥ Vista (2007)

They switched to storing thumbnails locally.

Ah, guess my knowledge was a bit out of date then :) I haven't been a regular Windows user for quite some time. I thought I'd seen Thumbs.db files generated on flash drives by at least 7 though.

Ah okay - I thought maybe it was Windows 7 (I never used Vista) and 7 doesn't feel like four versions ago.
