outlook view pictures attachment

I have one user that can double click one of the attached pictures and it
opens in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. She can then hit the next button to
see the next picture, and so on for all pictures attached in the email.
Other users around her want the same capibility but they have to double click
each picture within the email before the file gets written to the temp
directory.
At first I thought she must have already viewed all pictures and thats why
they were already in the temp directory. So, I right clicked on the picture,
went to properties and found where it was storing these temp files. I then
went and cleared out all files in that directory. When I went back to the
email and double clicked on the first picture attachement it automatically
put all pictures within that email back into the temp directory.
Anyone out there have any clues?
This is actually something I'd like to implement on other users computers
but don't know of any settings to change.

Hey TTTG;

Did you ever get a resolution to this problem?

I have a user with the exact same problem.

Thanks,

She could be misinterpreting what she sees. When Outlook extracts
attachments from messages so that they can be opened, the files are placed
in the "Outlook Secure Temp Folder". When the Picture and Fax Viewer opens
to show the one attachment that was extracted, it will also show any other
image ALREADY IN that folder. These could be images extracted from prior
messages and that never got deleted, which Outlook is supposed to do. The
images she sees aren't necessarily the other attachments in the message
containing the original image.
