Back in 2003, on a rainy night, an idea came to mind regarding the extraction of all the pictures from a host; ..and the title was inspired by the famous .."all your base are belong to us". [1]
I was looking at the thumbnail view of one of my folders and started wondering how does MS Windows® OS store information about thumbnails within each folder. Obviously that was the "thumbs.db" file which it was introduced with the release of W2K. (Note: Actually Win98 had the functionality of displaying thumbnails but you had to know the trick to enable this feature. In Windows Millennium the functionality was included but there was no thumb.db file).
