Thumbnail Cache Randomly Deleting

and Recreating

At last I have found a fix for this problem. It's has been over a week now and the thumbnails have not
been deleted and I have not had any other related problems.

This is the fix.

Right click on the folder which maintains the Thumbnails cache, here:

Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" (where {username} is replaced by
the name of the windows user, for example Neil for me)
Click Properties
Click Security
Click Advanced
Click change permissions
Listed are all the users who are allowed to use this folder (I have "System", "Administrator" and my
user "Neil". For each user:
Click Edit
Under the "Apply to" drop down list, select: this folder and files
Check the box under deny for: Delete subfolders and files
Check the box under deny for: Delete
Click OK

This stops any users or the system being allowed to delete the thumbnails cache files. Problem
solved.

Note: this does also stop the thumbnails being deleted when using disc cleanup!
