EVERY time you view a web page, the images on that page are downloaded to your computer. This happens automatically. The images are stored in a special group of folders. You can go in there and look at all the pictures!
If you have kids, or want to check up on what someone has been viewing on the Net, this is the place to do it. Be warned... if others have access to your computer, there's no telling what you'll find!
To view the images stored on your computer from Web pages, do this:
1. Using My Computer icon, double click to open. 2. Open the Windows folder. 3. Open the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Inside, you'll find a lot of stuff. Images will be there, and you should have the icon of whatever image editor you have installed on your computer. If you don't have an image editor, the icon may look like a blue "e" or Netscape's ship's wheel icon.
Double click the image file, and it will open in your image editor, or in your browser, depending on the software installed on your computer.
Also, check the History folder in the Windows folder. It will also reveal a lot of information.
This is just a glimpse into the bowels of your computer. A lot of stuff is stored there. If you want to delete the stuff you find in the Temporary Internet Files folder, just highlight the item, and hit the Delete key. Or highlight one item, and press Ctrl and A keys at the same time. (Ctrl+A). This will select all of the files... then hit the Delete key.
There are many ways to skin this cat. This is only one. If you know of a faster way to delete files, use it.
