    Turn off creation of Thumbs.db file

      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): 08.11.09.292
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Raster
      Subarea: N\A

    Problem

    Thumbs.db file is created by MicroStation when opening file with raster, and not released when file is closed. This is causing issues with automated systems trying to clear directory.

    How can I turn off creation of Thumbs.db file.

     



    Solution

    •  Log in as an Administrator
    •  Click Win+R and type gpedit.msc in the Run window to load the “Local Group Policy Editor”.
    •  Select User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer
    •  On the Right side double click “Turns off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files”

     

    •  Select “Enable” and click “Apply” and “Ok” to turn off creation of thumbs.db
