Hello All,

Right to the issue at hand. I have a user who did a search on her hard
disk for pictures. She found over 9,500+ photos. Now when she
double-click on an image and views it in WP&FV that fine, but to now go
and print the image, she is seeing ALL those photos as for some reason,
they are all showing up in the Print Selection window. Now I have
cleared her Temp folder, Internet Temp folder, and all the other
temporary storage I could find. I've searched the hard disk again to see
if I will be able to find where the files are located. I've load
internet explorer and deleted ALL files.

But when I go back into WP&FV and go to print, the images are still
there. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to remove these files from the
print selection window.

I would appreciate if when replying to this post, you would also send an
e-mail to my address, its kirrinjones--at--gmail--dot--com

THANKS.
 
I finally found them. HIDDEN OLK## directory. I wish Microsoft would fix
this problem. Why can't Outlook use the same %temp% variable like all
other programs.

This works in IE6.
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer lists every picture from the visited web sites?:

Will update the article for IE7.
