Silly Question about textures

When I download textures, I sometimes look in the folder, and some of them have a file called
Thumbs.db
What's that
EDIT:It is part of the zipped folder.
........I only find that when it is not unzipped

The thumbs.db file is generated by the Windows operating system.
It's a database file containing the small images displayed when you view a folder in "thumbnail" view (as opposed to tile, icon, list, or detail view).
No harm is done by deleting thumbs.db files.
Whether you see these files or not depends on how you have your File Options set.
To turn off this feature:
Click the Start button
Select Control Panel (or Settings, then Control Panel)
Select Folder Options
Click the View tab
Check Do not cache thumbnails
Click the Apply button
Click the OK button
