Yes, I can open files in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. My antivirus program
is fully up to date and I have done a system scan. I have, just in the last
half-hour been able to open pictures with ACDSee after uninstalling and
reinstalling the program. I ran my Windows Registry Repair Pro again before
that. I do thank you very much for your suggestions.

Recycle Bin.

I guess it's possible that you may have a virus.
Have you done a full system scan using the
most recent definitions?
