    Are you finding these (by any chance) in a Temporary Internet Files folder?

    possibly?

    if i click on a thumbnail to view it,it sets up as windows picture/fax viewer?
    if i use left/right arrows on the picture viewer there are pictures/title banners etc.which seem to have stored/saved automatically
    how do i stop these pictures saving?
    regards...paul

    Well, first of all, I'm going to assume that you're using Internet Explorer as your browser.
    Second, I'm going to suggest that you don't WANT it to stop saving those things: they're in its CACHE and the cache is a useful thing *while you're surfing*. What you want it to do is dump those things when you close the browser, so they aren't on your hard drive any more.
    Third, here's how: Open Internet Explorer, clcik Tools in the menu bar, and under that choose Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab on the panels you'll see. Scroll way down until you see an item that says "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed." Check that, click Apply and OK and close Internet Explorer, and those files will not be saved any more.
