MemberHey detn8r,
Here’s what I think is going on. We were connected through Messenger with Voice. She downloaded a normal sized .jpg file from the email I sent, but somehow, Picture and Fax Viewer on her machine linked directly to the default folder of my PFV, which in this case was the Temp. Int. file folder. PFV defaults to the last folder you opened a photo. I dumped my Temp. files while she was looking at them and she couldn’t see them any longer. The next day, she downloaded that photo again, and this time I had looked at photos that I keep in My Pictures. She could surf through that folder as well. That time, I only had Messenger on, but we weren’t Voicing and did not have an IM box open. We were talking on the phone. She cannot access my files as long as Messenger is off. That’s all I know.
I posted this same problem in YTunnelPro and Microsoft to see if anyone there can figure it out.
I am hoping that someone with a friend that downloads their email from Yahoo! could experiment with this to try to duplicate it.
Thanks!December 14, 2006 at 6:16 pm in reply to: Yahoo email recipient sees MY Temp. Internet files #155339throngcleaver
MemberUpdate: She can see the contents of the LAST folder that I opened a photo of in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Apparently, the Viewer defaults to the last folder. Now, when she downloads the email photo, she can see the photos in My Pictures on my computer, not hers. Scary.

MemberYes, when I email a photo to myself, I see my own cache when I scroll in the viewer, but she saw MY cache. She described photos that I know she wouldn’t have on her computer. Things that I surfed on eBay, and websites about machine tools. She was seeing my Temp files, there’s no doubt. I think it has more to do with Messenger Voice chat, or more than likely, the Photo Share feature. I think we had that open when I forwarded her the photo. The direct connection between computers for Photo Share probably let her access my Temp cache. IE7 might have something to do with it as well.
Can anyone try that with a friend in chat? Voice chat going, Photo Share on, email opened online… -
