Windows Fax & Picture Viewer

[Guest]

If I send or receive a picture by e-mail, I look at it/them using windows fax
& picture viewer. I have noticed that when I do this, the fax & pic viewer
seems to have recorded every image from my surfing, and friends surfing
images if they have sent me pictures. I know this is a bit confusing but... I
have to delete these images one at a time if I don't want them to appear when
I send stuff out.

Does anyone know what's going on and how to stop it ??
Thanks.

If deleting your Internet Temporary Files does not completely work, you may
have to do something more as given below.

If these are files were downloaded from or e-
mail, they may be in a subfolder of your Internet temporary files. The
folder
name will start with OLK and there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find this folder it 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.
