Ok do you see the amount of operations in this?
the 2 line command prompt file is a one time job to type the lines and save it
as a Thumbs.bat or Thumbs.cmd file and when you put it in C:\ and make a
shortcut to the desktop or the start menu you only have to execute it every time
you want to remove the Thumbs.db files because you go pack a folder with files.
I did not test it but what if your explorer is set to NOT show hidden and system
files? do they show if you do a search for them in explorer?
The commandline file has no problem with that, it just removes them.

Also PDF files can contain a virus so at the end i think those files will be all
PNG files and i think not everybody is able to open them

Emulated? as long as a Os has io.sys, msdos.sys, a command.com in the
windows\system32 folder and config.sys and autoexec.dos or autoexec.bat windows
is no more than a dos based operating system.
So nothing is emulated.
But it also is the case that you only are able to reinstall Vista a limited
number of times at your machine, then you have to buy a new Vista. ( i installed
xp on my machine 9 times already and one reason was to get rid of this endles
list of $NtUninstallKBxxxxxx$ folders and you get them every time windows does a
update) How many times are you allowed to reinstall Win7 ? How do you remove
virus and trojan culprits if you can not go to a command prompt? Like most
people do ? "I have a virus, i have to reformat"?
What tools do you need then if you can not do things in a os in it's most basic
form from a command prompt?
By the way the cmd.exe file only is a tool to get you to the command propmt and
work with it in a window.
Win 95 and 98 has a option to reboot in DOS mode and then you had it full
screen.
And with the outcome of a newer version of the os it is not said that it also
means that it is a improvement in regard to the older version.
I would like to lift one quote from the weblink you provided namely this:
Command lines are incredibly powerful and quick for power users. The fact that
all Windows users think the command line is pointless is proof of how bad dos is
(if it looks like dos and smells like dos then it is dos). Microsoft and server
administrators know the power of the command line.
( What about the macro's you can program in the office applications in BASIC ?
is basic not something we left behind years ago also? why do we still use it?
The first IBM pc's did boot in basic and you could save your program to tape
instead of a disk and BG was the one who made a D(isk) O(perating) S(ystem) for
it and in fact all operating systems we use nowdays are Disk Operating Systems
because they boot from disk )

Any way this topic is drifting more and more to a point where it should be
discussed in a other forum like a.b.os
