    Easiest fix, change the folder view to another, like “list”, then back and it won’t be locked anymore. Might take a second or two, but will unlock.

        You mean list? Click these icons and change the folder view from icons to something else, like “list” or “details”, then thumbs.db can be deleted without windows bitching.

        You can also change under View menu at the top.

          No I mean “locked”.

          I don’t care about windows bitching about these files, I am offended that it shits them (and “desktop.ini”) all over everywhere.

          It’s a total hack, and pathetic for a company the size of Microsoft.
