What is Thumbs.db, some mods are not even closely related to each other, but both share a Thumbs.db file. Can this be changed somehow ? I always remove Read Me files, and Jpg's before enabling mods, because I know those cause a similar Overwrite situation, but this Thumbs.db this throws me for a loop.

Yes, just delete them as Carotio said. Although it would be better for the mod creator to have done it *before* release.
Indeed, you can turn the feature off (although this won't stop you getting them from other sources, like mods). To turn off the creation of Thumbs.db:
1. Click the Start button
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select Folder Options
4. Click the View tab
5. Check "Do not cache thumbnails"
6. Click the OK button
I think they're the most annoying files ever - especially as their presence also overrides any folder-specific view settings for the folder that they reside in. And collectively they can get quite big.
