Naming convention of files in AppData/Local/Real/RealPlayer/Content/images

Hello,

I am working on my mothers computer and copying all images to an external hard drive. I found some images in AppData/Local/Real/RealPlayer/Content/Images. 

It looks like RealPlayer removed the real name of these images and replaced with its own file name. The file name is broken up in two parts (separated by an underscore). 

I figured out the second part of the file name is UNIX code for the date and time the file was created inside the "images" folder. However, I cannot figure out how it comes up with the first part of the file name. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Mike

  The images found under this folder are the thumbnails created by RealPlayer for display in the RealPlayer library. These files do not have to be backed up to external hard-drive. RealPlayer does not automatically remove / alter the user’s original videos and photos.

  Can you prevent those images from ending up there? Or.. can you redirect them so they end up on another drive?
  So can you even disable that option so that those images NO longer end up there?
