What are system files used for, in mods?

In the mod "Children of the Wasteland", in their data/textures/effects folder, there are two files. One is a DDS file, the other is a hidden system file called "thumbs".

 

1. Are system files used in mods frequently?

2. Of what use is it? What does it do?

 

When I leave it there, the display on my computer screen gets messed up. So I deleted it. Should it be in there? The mod seems to work better without it.

 

Thanks in advance for your knowledge and experience.

Hi,

nope, System Files are not used in Mods. "thumbs.db" is a leftover put there by the Windows Explorer. It puts these in every Directory where Images/Movies etc are stored. These files contain the Explorer Preview Information.

For more comprehensive Info have a look here.

 

Thank you so much for such a helpful and informative answer. A kudos for you!
