I just unloaded a large amount of images that have NEVER been seen by my Vista laptop and there appears to be the creation of 82-byte hidden "duplicate" "images". "Duplicate" because it's inheriting the name of random images, and "images" because they're considered images.
They're all 82 bytes and appended "._" to the beginning of their name so the OS is obviously trying to hide them. What are these, thumbnails? | |

Are they all located in one folder or in the same places as the images it allegedly lifts their names from?

Windows stores thumbnails for all images in a folder in a hidden file named Thumbs.db so I don't think those are thumbnails. Maybe it's metadata? Open one in Notepad and copy what you find.

I usually get those on my flash drive, but every once and a while they show up on my main drive. They're nothing important as far as I can tell, I just delete them once they start building up.
