unwanted downloads

I seem to be having a problem with pictures downloading themselves onto my
picture file from the internet Websites I visit, I found this out today and
had to delete about 300 images from my photofile, some are logos and other
are photo's all from websites...What can I do to stop or control

Those are temporary internet files, if you do not want them stored on
your computer you can have IE7 delete them when ever you close the web
browser.

go to Tools/ Internet Options / advanced tab / scroll down to security
/ then select empty temporary internet file folder when browser is
closed.

I don't know I'm not sitting at her computer...she could either be
mistaken where they are being stored or somehow she changed the temp
store location.
