For some folders, Thumbs.db does now show up even though I am showing hidden folders/files and always showing extensions. How do I get it to always be displayed while using Windows Explorer?

Also, the file shows up when I use the command prompt dir /a but if I do del Thumbs.db it says it does not exist. But if I do del /A Thumbs.db it will delete it properly.

Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" in the Folder Options

You need to switch to preview mode so that Windows creates the Thumbs.db file.
