Extracts images from *.db files. consume like this:

 var fname = @"C:\Temp\thumbcache_48.db";

            var tc = new ThumbCache.ThumbCache(fname);

            foreach (var image in tc.Images)
            {
                var pb = new PictureBox();
                pb.Image = image;
                pb.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;

                flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(pb);

            }

On Windows 8.1, all these files processed fine:
thumbcache_16.db
thumbcache_32.db
thumbcache_48.db
thumbcache_96.db
thumbcache_256.db
thumbcache_1024.db

you can get around "in use" errors on a running system by copying the file:

var fname = @"C:\Users\eric\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_96.db";
var newName = @"C:\temp\thumbcache_96.db";
File.Copy(fname, newName, true);
