Take a look on a machine that is heavily used for email that hasn't had the TIF emptied in a while. I discovered this *feature* some time ago so I now routinely empty my OLK* folder, just did less than 10 days ago and there are already over a dozen files in there I wouldn't want anyone getting ahold of. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 10:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Outlook 2003 sporadically blocks internal embedded graphics in HTML email :-) I just wrote you a little 'thank you' in the Exchange thread. Your solution was spot-on. The folder in question for me was: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK5E Flushing that folder instantly resolved the image display problem I was sporadically having.

I've seen this on Outlook 2003 quite a bit, but Steve Szabo also said he's seen it on 2007, where he said the hidden subdirectories (olk**) don't exist. Here's my snippet--might work for you in this situation: > > > Under that user's logon, open up c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temporary internet files. There is probably a subfolder like "olk66" and a bunch of junk inside that folder. For some reason, when files pile up here, Outlook likes to stop showing embedded jpgs (not sure about other pic types). > > Easiest fix I've used is to have them clear their Temporary Internet files using IE, but I've also been able to just empty out this folder's contents. > > > -Bonnie > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael B.
