windows picture and fax viewer ques??

[B Gilmour]

Hi
Every time I open up a jpeg in windows picture and fax viewer, I get the
correct picture but then I scroll through to the next picture and I get
pictures that I do not want!
I"ve tried deleting them but the next time I open they are still there. I
can't get rid of them.
I've tried to find where they are stored but to no avail. A search of jpeg
pictures doesn't show them.
Help Please Thanks Bill

I have since found out this only happens when I open a jpeg which has been
sent to me via outlook express and I open the picture direct in outlook. If
I save it first to the hard drive then open it, this does not happen.
I still would like to know how to delete these old pics from outlook. is
there a folder some where that stores them?? Thanks

=======================================
You are seeing the files that are stored in your
Temporary Internet Files folder. If you empty that
folder you will only see the images in the e-mail.

Running disk cleanup should take care of it :

If these are files downloaded from the internet 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 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
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.
