How to delete images opened Windows Picture and Fax Viewer viewer?'

It seems that any image that I have opened with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been saved somewhere. When I want to print something opened with WPFV thumbnails of hundreds of images open up. How can I delete these thumbnails? As far as I know I did not save the images ever, just opened them. Thanks

Your post is not clear enough, but I am guessing you are looking at your Temporary 
Internet files.  

To delete them, go to your IE menu...Tools > Options > click Delete Files

You can also click Settings to set the Temporary Internet files to use less disk 
space, if that is your concern.

Hi pat

Are these the thumbnails reached thru' Start, My Pictures, C:\NCDTree\My Pictures 
- View = Thumbnail? 

If so these Thumbnails can be deleted

Double check that you really want to loose these items  

Then right click, choose Delete 

David

I would geta good picture viewer/manipulator like ACDSee, and make the mod shown 
in the Annoyances like at the left of the Annoyances page and stop the Windows picture 
viewer from glomming onto all your pix. 
Even though you associate picture files with another viewer, XP ignores that association 
unless you halt it. You then have a better handle on thumbnails.

hey guys even i had a big issue on deleteing the past viewed images and i found some thing like this when you open a image in the mail and goes to print it will show all the past images so to delete them their a option called edit next to save button so when you go to edit you will find small 3 buttons in the left hand side where it says thumbnail view and filmstrip view so you can select any of that and select all then you can delete so after that when you go to print a image you wont see the past images hope it will work but it worked for me

big sigh. i've read ten replies and not one that answers the question. Anytime you download or upload a pic from any source it is kept in the Windows P&FV. Next time you download a photo, delete it from the Windows P&FV screen and another photo will most assurdly pop us. I've been deletint them one by one and realizing that I have 3 years of photos...every one I've ever downloaded even the embarrassing ones and don't want to do eternal deleting. Hence, I came here to find out how to delete ALL the files from the darn thing in one fell swoop. I'll go back to the string now. Thanks.
