Images are not displaying in Microsoft Outlook

Have you ever come across situation were the images are not displaying in Microsoft Outlook? You will experience this when you get emails with images, the content will display but the pictures will not.
Before we go in to the fix for this let’s discuss the process of Outlook:
When you open any attachments in outlook it will temporarily save it in the windows Temporary internet folder. It’s a special folder called OLK, OLK is a super hiddenl folder which you can’t view from the explorer. So all the attachments in your Outlook will store in this folder so each and every time when you open an attachment those attachments will store in this OLK folder as a junk and when the amount of this junk increases you will experience this problem. So lets see how to fix this problem.Fix 1.
• Open your registry ( Type in “Regedit” in Run box”)
• Then navigate to this key in the registry “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security
• On the right side you could see a key called “OutlookSecureTempFolder” Right click on this key and click on Modify
• You will get a folder path something like this “C:\Users\Renjith\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\OLKC801”
• Copy this folder path and type in the Run box which will open up this location
• Now clear all the files in this folder.
• After this if you try to open any emails which has images it will display the images.
Fix 2.
• Delete the “OutlookSecureTempFolder” key from the registry and restart the computer
• This will actually create another OLK folder. I will not suggest you doing this because this will not delete all the junk files.
