Windows Photo and Fax Viewer strangeness?
If I click on a picture that has been sent to my computor as an attachment to an email, the picture opens in "Windows Photo and Fax
viewer". If I then click on the "next" icon in the toolbar below the picture, you can scroll through a series of completely random
images, bits of webpage, avatars from here, etc, etc, that have not been deliberately saved on the computer. They are obviously from webpages that
have been viewed on the computer in the past. If you save the picture to a file, and then toggle "next" it just scroll though other pics
in the directory file as usual, it only does this when you are actually still in the email.
How do I clear this "memory" and/or prevent this happening?
This is with Microsoft Office 2000/Outlook Express. If I go to "programmes" I can't even see Windows Photo and Fax viewer let alone
where I might do something about this?
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

That happens because the files in your attachments live in a temporary folder (I think the same one as IE uses) so you view everything there.
Not sure if it's directly fixable, but if you save the images before viewing, that'll work around the issue.
Also, switching to another browser or email client should help.

Yup. You're viewing your internet explorer temporary folder. Hope there wasn't anything too surprising in there!!!!
To clear it go to Internet Explorer and go Tools, Internet options, General then under browsing history click delete.
All gone
