What is Thumb*.db Viewer

For multimedia files used under the Microsoft Windows, the operating system automatically generated special images (cached thumbnails).

These thumbnails and information about the source files are stored in databases that are named differently for different versions of Microsoft Windows.

If the media file or the entire folder is deleted, the thumbnail will remain in the database files.

Our program was written to give the computer user tools to comfortable reconstruct database records.

Thumb*.db Viewer allows browse and retrieve thumbnails stored into:

thumbs.db, ehthumbs.db (Windows XP and early versions);

thumbcache_idx.db, thumbcache_32.db, thumbcache_96.db, thumbcache_256.db, thumbcache_1024.db, thumbcache_sr.db (Windows Vista, Windows 7);
