I am using EMC 8.0 and recently I noticed that when I am burning folders that have the file Thumbs.db within a folder, that folder gets excluded from the burn.

Thumbs.db is a systems file that Microsoft generates when thumbnails are in a folder. I have tried to stop the excluding of these folders by going to File --> Project Settings --> Excluded File Types and unchecking "Exclude all system files". This does not apparently solve the problem. The method I have found that does work is be able to see Thumbs.db file and delete them. If there many of these, it is really not a realistic way to handle this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been using Roxio since version 3 and I can assure that has never happened in any version from 3 to 10! But to be fair…

You fail to mention what specific Program you are using and what settings.

Also need to know the steps taken so someone can try to reproduce this…

If you go to the folder in Windows Explorer, change the view options to icons, tiles or list - that way you won't have the 'thumbs.db' files there

The OP is claiming that if the Thumbs.db file is present the entire folder and contents will not be added to a project!

That is absolutely untrue so I am trying to get a little more detail on this…
