I dont think you'll find one. I've looked before and not found anything. You're going to have to rely on APIs I think.
If you do it, try making it into a component yourself and release it for everyone else to use. What goes around, comes around, eh? :)

Hi,
There is a C# library (under LGPL) forreading thumb.db at http://www.petedavis.net/MySite/DynPageView.aspx?pageid=31 (with source code).
From the page:
There is only one class you need to use: ThumbDB.
The ThumbDB constructor takes a string with the full path and filename of the thumbs.db file you want to read.
public string[] GetThumbFiles()
public byte[] GetThumbData(string filename)
public Image GetThumbnailImage(string filename)
...
Maybe someone here can help you translate the whole from C# to delphi ...and maybe as said above release it for everyone else to use.
