"In Windows Vista Thumbs.db file has been replaced by a number of "thumbcache_xxx.db" files which are now located within a user's profile at \Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" The zombie icon symptom is normal behaviour for the system: "...when a graphic is viewed and an entry made for it in the database, it is maintained indefinitely by the operating system. If the file is deleted, the image will remain unless the file or the entire folder are deleted." Local Thumbs.db and the finder.dat files have irritated me in the past, and tripped up some of my scripts. However, suddenly they seem quite sensible compared with a giant, unmodifiable central database. So. In short. Don't do what I did, do what Jacqueline does.
