=======================================

Any image you view on the internet or in
an e-mail message has to be downloaded
before you can see it on your screen...these
files are in your Temporary Internet Files folder.
This includes all the graphics you see on web
pages.

First, open any folder and go to...Tools / Folder
Options / View tab...

At, "Hidden Files and Folders" tick..."Show
Hidden Files and Folders" / Apply / OK.

Next...right click your Start button and choose...Explore...

In your file tree go to...Local Disk C:/Documents
and Settings/Your Name/Local Settings/Temporary
Internet Files...

Open your "Temporary Internet Files" folder and
delete everything in it. Just go to...Edit / Select
All / File / Delete...Yes.

I also empty my History folder, Temp Folder And
Recent folder.

I am having the same trouble on my slideshow with unwanted pictures, but
these were not downloaded from the internet. They are from memory card and I
can't find them on my hard drive. Not in my pictures or any folder with
pictures.

================================
If you know the format of the pictures...a
simple search may find them. For example...
search for .jpg or .tif.

Another possible solution is explained in the
following tutorial from Yves Alarie:

Files downloaded from the internet or e-mail
may be in a subfolder of your Temporary
Internet Files folder.

The folder name will start with OLK and
there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find this folder 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, select the files 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.

Good luck.
