Please Help
Pete & Jean
emailing pictures to some friends from my documents/my pictures they can't
open. They are in lnk format. Is there something I can tell them to do to
open or will they have to live with no pictures? Any help would be
appreciated. If you can help would you please email to va...@kingston.net

Well, in one sense no, since you've sent your query to a newsgroup intended
only for those who create online help systems for Windows programs. But in
another perhaps yes; not many naive Windows users have the gumption to work
out how to post to usenet (newsgroups) at all. :)

Well, no, because you haven't sent the pictures - just pointers to them,
such as "C:\My Pictures\Granny3.jpg", which isn't very helpful since the
recipient doesn't have access to your hard drive.

I assume you're using Outlook Express (the Microsoft e-mail program supplied
with Windows XP). Try sending the images as attachments in a new e-mail:
from the New Message window's Insert menu, choose 'File Attachment'. *Don't*
choose 'hyperlink', and don't try to send more than about a megabyte's worth
of images in one e-mail.
For more and better advice, try a suitable newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
