I am not great with computers so be gentle please!

I recieved a mail with picture attachment, opened it and it opens with "Windows picture and fax viewer".

It was only one picture but when I clicked the next button I saw pics of a watch I had bought on the net, pics of a car I had been looking at on the net and numerous pics of motorcycles and clothing.......all of which I had been looking at on the net.

I dont understand how these can be on a received email attachment.

Even worse some of the presents I bought my other half for xmas were there and they were a surprise (or so thought).

Second thought is when I send an attachment are all these things attached to the picture I send?

I am really confused.

Thanks for any advice.

It sounds like you are saving the pictures you look at on the net to your hard drive. Like in a folder?

Create a new folder for your pictures you receive in emails and save them there. When looking at pictures on the net just open them without saving them. If you do need to save them then save them to the desktop or somewhere easy to get to so you can delete them when you are done.

Either that or they are going into your temporary folders which can be removed with disk cleanup.

Or .... it sounds like you are viewing Temporary Internet Files, by hitting the next button.

Thanks Phil, I didn't quite fully explain that part.

Thanks both,

So I assume from that I am actually viewing what is on my computer not what has been sent with the picture.
No I am just gonna look for theTemporary Internet File so I know how to delete the hotel for the valentines weekend away.........these computer things sure are complicated.

Thanks again.
