   I don't know about you, but I do like my thumbs.  Both of 'em.  The spacebar   
   wouldn't be the same without it.   
      
   But there is one place where I do NOT want to see "thumbs," and that's in my   
   Paradox databases!  Unfortunately that is one of the many places where   
   recent versions of Windows like to put a file called THUMBS.DB.   
      
   You do not normally see "THUMBS" because it is a hidden, system file.  It   
   contains thumbnail-previews of images.  And it is not, most emphatically IS   
   NOT, a Paradox database.  Which is where a curious problem can arise.   
      
   Here we have a file with a ".DB" extension, (say) located in a Paradox   
   database directory, which is nonetheless NOT a Paradox table-file.  The   
   fact that it is 'hidden' and 'system' does not necessarily conceal it from   
   Paradox.  Which might proceed to try to open it, in any one of many   
   different situations.   
      
   The result?  "Unpredictable."  Heh heh heh....   
      
   The (only) solution?  Look for and get rid of these files if they are in   
   places where they are not supposed to be.
