multiple photos coming up as screensaver

[Guest]

When I try to do a screensaver with my own photos, no problem. But when i try
to do them with photos that other people sent me in emails or photos I have
taken off the internet, multiple copies of the photos fill the screen! I
believe the way i got these photos from email was right click and 'save
photos as', although sometimes I had to 'open' the photos first, then right
click 'save as' to get them to open up in 'my pics'. Did I choose the wrong
way to send them there., is that the problem? Why would this be happening and
how to fix it if anyone knows! THANKS!

==================================
I suspect that you are seeing Temporary Internet Files.

Running Disk Cleanup to delete Temporary
Internet Files may help:

Tool in Windows XP

Also the following article explains how to
empty the Temporary Internet Files folder:

(260897) How to Delete the Contents of the
Temporary Internet Files Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260897

And...the following info previously posted
by MVP Yves Alarie may be useful:

Files downloaded from the internet or e-mail,
may be in a subfolder of your Temporary
Internet Files folder.

The folder name will start with OLK and
there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find this folder is to search for OLK*
and once found open it and see if the files
are there.

Click on Start and Search and then:
All files and folders
More advanced options
Search system folders
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders

In the top textbox "All or part..."
type in exactly this OLK*
and click search

This search will take a while but should
return all folders starting with OLK.

Open the folders, change the view to
Thumbnails and see if the unwanted files are
there. If so, just select them and delete. They
will go to your Recycle bin, delete them from
there also. Or, hold the Shift key down when
you delete them in order to prevent them from
going into your Recycle bin.
