Windows picture and fax viewer

[Dudley Henriques]

Is there a file stored on the drive somewhere where you can see what the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has stored? I'd like to clear it if possible.
Thanks

Mine stores nothing.

SWAG.

To delete *all* of your Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | Click OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop
Or Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files. Also close OE.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box: Delete all offline content {This cleans >>
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
AND
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
and \Content.MSO (Created by an MS Office program)}
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.
6) You can also click on the Clear History button to empty your History
folder.

Note: If you do NOT select the Delete all offline content box, not
everything will be cleaned out.

Hi Wesley, and thanks for the reply.
Perhaps I'm not talking about the right thing here. Sometimes when I go to
print an image from the net, the printing preview comes up with a slew of
pictures on it from prior sessions. The one presently in question has a box
around it. I'd like to not have these prior images stored. Is this possible?
I was assuming this preview windown was associated with the Picture and Fax
viewer but I might have been mistaken.
Also concerning the deleting of the TIF. I just downloaded and installed
IE7. I have the delete function as before in 6.0 but there dosen't seem to
be a select box for offline content. How do I delete offline content in IE7,
or does the one deletion button now include offline content for IE7?
Thanks much
Dudley

Hi Dudley,

Try this newsgroup.
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Anything that you view on any webpage on the net gets downloaded to your
machine. Those files are stored in your Temporary Internet Files folders.

IE6 does not use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. IE6 uses IE6 to view
everything that you see. In IE6 when you click on Print Preview, the IE6
Print Preview comes up, it will say Print Preview on the Title bar up at the
top, not the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

When the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is open, it will say Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer on the Title bar up at the top, unless you have a slide show
running.

IE7 does NOT have the Delete all offline content option. I know that much
about IE7.

The offline content is the up to four Random named folders in the
Content.IE5 folder.

Start | Run | Paste this in the box:

%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Click OK.

Delete the up to four Random named folders. Make sure that IE is closed.

I do not use IE7, so I have no idea how it behaves, except for apparently
very badly. There are some setting that you could adjust, but since you
have IE7 and I have no idea what settings are the same as IE6, I won't
mention them.

The only way that I know of to use IE6 and the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer is to type a path to a jpg or some other picture file on your machine
in the Address bar of IE and click the Go button. Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer will then open with that file displayed.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll check on the offline
content.
