I use a pictures folder for my screen saver. WIN7 keeps putting a thumb.db file in it. That file causes the screen saver to stop and the screen goes blank. Once I delete the thumb.db file, it works fine for a few days, then thumb.db comes back. (I am assuming that the source of the file is WIN7.)

Is there anyway to prevent that file from being created?

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, the link directs me to gpedit.msc which is not available in WIN7 home premium.
