Save photos from e-mail

Good Morning!
Save photos from e-mail

Do your kids send you photos in the message box of an e-mail so you don't have to go through the brain damage of downloading them? Wouldn't you love to save the photos to your hard drive? It's so easy you won't believe it.

Once you open the e-mail, RIGHT click the photo. A shortcut menu will pop up. LEFT click Save Image As. A dialog box will open asking you where you want to save the photo. Make sure My Documents is in the top line of the Save box. If not, click the dropdown arrow and LEFT click My Documents. When you see My Documents at the top of the box, double click My Pictures. If there is a particular folder you want to save the photo in, double click that folder. Then LEFT click Save in the lower right corner of the box.

If you're tired of the background on your screen, change it! Go to page 12 of my book, Taming Your Computer -- the Simple Basics and Beyond for instructions on how to do this.

Next time I'll show you how easy it is to place that photo you just saved from the e- mail on your desktop as the background. Tune in next week!

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
