thumbs.db file error

If thumbs.db is a system file, try changing the properties so it's not. If it's an empty file, then delete it. Also, if you run your program while Windows Explorer has the same folder open, there may be a file access conflict.

1Please can you add more information. What software is it you are using? Is it something you have written yourself? – ChrisF – 2011-03-23T13:22:20.823
yes, it is a software which uses foxpro as database and is written in foxpro – sqlchild – 2011-03-23T13:24:01.490
If you have written it yourself, then Stack Overflow would be a better place to ask, but you would need to supply much more information and the code that was failing. – ChrisF – 2011-03-23T13:26:16.080
does DOS also uses Thumbs.db file? but it is created by Windows then how could DOS use it? is it possbile? or it would depend on my code ? – sqlchild – 2011-03-23T13:28:49.323
when, am running it one system then it does not shows error, but on another system it gives this reset thumbs.db error? so i think that there's no error in my code. – sqlchild – 2011-03-23T13:29:38.327
It would depend on your code. It's just a file, but if your code is trying to read all files in the directory it won't have the format you expect and your code will fail (as indeed it has). – ChrisF – 2011-03-23T13:30:15.470
Thumbs.dbwas introduced by Windows XP. MS-DOS never uses it. – user1686 – 2011-03-23T15:20:45.427
