XP caches the thumbnails for speed, when XP browses a directory
without a thumbs.db, it re-generates all the thumbs, which can
be slow if there are a lot of images. Nothing  important is lost by
deleting it though, it'll regenerate it when needed, it's just slower.

Caching thumbnails can be turned off in folder options, if that's
what you want.
