There are different programs that can open DB database files. Some of them are Microsoft Access database, Oracle database, Paradox databases and others. Many people wonder what Thumbs.db is and if they can remove it.

Many Windows XP folders display thumbnail images of the folder files as a default. The most common folder that has this option set as default is My Pictures folder. My Pictures folder is mostly used to store pictures; that is why it display files as thumbnails. The same thing concerns digital cameras folders. Using Thumbs.db, Microsoft can cache thumbnail images in the folder. The main purpose of creating thumbnail cache is to speed up thumbnails display the next time the folder is opened by caching a set of thumbnails for video and image files in the folder. If you haven’t seen such files in the folder before, then you probably don’t have the Show hidden files and folders option enabled. If you delete the Thumbs.db file, it will delete the cache, which will be restored the next time you view the files in the folder. There is a possibility to configure Windows to stop caching thumbnails.

Many people are annoyed by the Thumbs.db file. And one of the biggest reasons for being annoyed is that the file changes folder settings. For example, you would like to make all Windows folders to open in List view. And if any of the folders have a Thumbs.db file, that folder will not follow your preferences and just revert to the thumbnail view.

One more disadvantage of the Thumbs.db file is that it occupies the disc space. The space they take up is usually small, but if you have a lot of such files on your hard drive, deleting them could save you a lot of disc space. If you want to delete the Thumbs.db files from your hard drive, you can turn off the option of creating this file following these steps.

You should go to Tools and then Options in My Computer folder and select the View tab. Then click Ok next to the box named Do not cache thumbnails. This way you turned off the thumbnail caching for all windows.

You have to know what kind of files belongs to which application, because many file extensions are utilized by more than one application. For example, if you want to open Thumbs.db file with MS Access database the file will be a mess and you will not be able to read it, or MS Access will not be able to open the file. This happens because, even though, Microsoft Access database is able to open db files, Thumbs.db is not a database file. So, now you know what are db files, how to use them or get rid of them.

If your computer is operating at a snail’s pace and your network or Internet connections keep disconnecting, you may very well have a process known as Ccapp.exe taking up a lot of space in your CPU’s processes. 

No, this program isn’t a virus, or a worm, or a trojan. It’s actually an executable application that’s keeping your system safe from these harmful infections. Ccapp.exe is one of the essential components of the well-known anti-virus program, Norton Internet Security. Whether the anti-virus arrived already installed in your system when you bought it, or perhaps you installed it yourself, you can verify that it isn’t harmful software carrying a similar name by finding out whether it is installed in the proper location on your hard drive. Most spyware deliberately hide files from My Computer, or disguise them with misspelled names that closely mimic the spelling of legitimate files.

To do this, double-click on Program Files under the hard disk drive icon in the My Computer folder, access Common Files, then the Symantec Shared folder, and there you will see the program ccApp.exe. You can also find it in the tasklist on Task Manager. Simply hit ctrl + alt + delete, and Window’s Task Manager will open up showing you all the programs and processes currently running. You will also come across the application every time your computer starts up. Deleting this file is dangerous, as it leaves you wide open to attacks from viruses, worms, spyware, and Trojans.

This means that if you have Norton Internet Security installed in your system, you may have to live with the program’s gargantuan process that’s liable to use up over 50% of your CPU’s system. In this case, the price of protection translates to a slower process once you start up your computer. If this kind of speed keeps getting to you, the best thing you can do is to defer from renewing your subscription when the old one expires, uninstall Norton from your system, and get yourself a new and reliable anti-virus program. Perfect Uninstaller is a good software program uninstall tool if you are struggling to remove programs like Norton through the Windows control panel. 

Downloading and installing software will help you with carrying out Windows XP registry repair rather than having to this manually with a program like Regedit.
