RE: Quick PC help.
they are hidden system files that you shouldn't mess with if you don't know what they do. That one probably stores information about and how the other objects on that folder are displayed.
You can enable so they are visible like other files and folders, but you should leave them alone

RE: Quick PC help.
Ahh, I kinda had a thought that might be it. The thnig is I'm running a 5yr old dell with a 10gig hard drive and with XP and all other necessary software/programs all I have it around 4-5gigs to play with so I did want some useless junk filling up My HD.
But thanks a lot Nik!

Probably a thumbs file (thumbnail config). If you delete the file its attached to, it will also go away.
