How stop IEView from opening thumbs.db?

Post by *nn1k3 »

When I quick-view files in a folder, I may unintentionally select a "Thumbs.db" file. The problem is that IEView.wlx then tries to view it and then opens it in my text editor. That is annoying.

How can I tell IEView to ignore Thumbs.db files?

Background:
1. WinXP
2. I use IEVIew because I like the way IEView shows me the a collage of thumbnails of all the images in a folder before I navigate into the folder. Let me know if there is a better way.
3. I do not want to "Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files”.

Add Thumbs.db to the ignore list.

TC: "Configuration -> Options... -> Ignore list"
