E-mail photo attatchments

[bullpen]

I have a number of attatchments of photos of my grandchildren in the US. In order to clear the e mails I want to create a folder in My Pictures. How do I go about it please. I have Windows XP

Open photo, right click on phto & copy. Open your phto software & Ctrl v (paste) photo then file in ur new folder or My Docs.

n.b. I have a 'Photo folder' in my Hotmail a/c and tick all emails with photos to be stored there. I can pick thru them at my leisure.

To create a new folder in my pictures Open My pictures from the start button then select FILE and NEW then Folder Give this your chosen name Close my pictures down and the new folder will be ready for you to use

you don't need to open them to save them.

to make things as simple as possible
use my computer, explorer or open my documents and then my pictures

then in the file menu (top left)
file | new | folder
when the folder appears type in a name - USGrandkids (or whatever suits you)
LEAVE THIS WINDOW OPEN

then open your e-mail
right click the attachment | save target as

find the folder you made and OK

next time you'll already be in the right folder .... so just keep going 'till you have them all.

switch back to the folder you created .... from the top menu
View | thumbnails.

make certain you have all the pictures
(consider putting them on a CD or DVD as well

then you can deal with the mails ....
personally I'd then do as teram says and store the mails in a folder in your hotmail account (unless there are 1000000s of them)

that way if something happens you have a backup of the backup
