Please help. People send me lots of photos and downloads and sometimes I'd like to see them all and maybe?

save a select few......however somehow every single thing i open, even the ones i delete or don't view completely end of saved in my pictures or my documents. This drives me nuts. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent it? Thanks for any advice.

    First of all when you download photos/attachments they also AUTOMATICALLY go in to your MY PHOTOS/MY ATTACHMENTS folder which can be accessed on the left side of your email page UNLESS you delete the message.

    FIREFOX

    Click on TOOLS ...then OPTIONS. Once the next box comes up click on the GENERAL TAB unless it is already in it. Scroll down to ALWAYS ASK ME WHERE TO SAVE FILES and click on the circle to the left so the dot is in the middle of it... Go below and click OK. Now when you download something it will ask you where you want to send it.

    INTERNET EXPLORER

    When you click on the attachment you will be given the option of OPEN or SAVE or CANCEL. If you click on SAVE the next box opens up and you can see what is in the SAVE IN box at the top. If you click on the down arrow on the right side of this box you will be given several options where to send it. The file name will already be in the bottom FILE NAME box. After you decide where you want it when you click on SAVE that is where it will end up
