windows picture and fax viewer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi John
I don't know if you will be able to help but I thought I would give it a try.
Whenever I look at a photo in the windows picture and fax viewer, If I go
forward to the next photo or backwards, it shows all the icons or pictures,
of all the sites I have been on, there are thousands of them, I don't know
what is happening or how to stop it, I am a beginner in using a pc and know
really nothing on solving problems. It seems the problem has some thing to
do with me being on msn or since I obtained an msn email address. there are
lots of msn icons in the windows picture and fax viewer. Hope you will be
able to help me.
