i saw in my windows picture and fax viewer that i had about 800 images.
about 790 of them make no sense as to why they are even there. they come
from web sited that i have visited ect. IS THERE A WAY I CAN GET RID OF
THEM or do i have to go through and delete them one at a time. there has to
be something i can turn off to keep them from loading.

thanks

Everything that you view on web pages is downloaded to your machine. These
files are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folders.

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.

Content.IE5 is a hidden system folder.

IE 7 does not have a Delete all offline content option.
