Outlook 2007 is adding my Vista login picture to outgoing emails. How do I stop this?

I'm sending my resume out to companies and it doesn't look to professional if I have my picture
there as well... friggin thing has been doing this for quite some time and I didn't know this.

Thanks
Paul

Where are you seeing the picture? In the email you're drafting or in the
email in your Sent Items? If the latter then your photo isn't being sent. A
new feature of Outlook 2007 is to display a Contact photo if one is
available but this is on your end only. The only way a recipient would see
your photo is if they have you in their Contacts along with a photo of you
saved in the Contact.

It's actually a pretty handy feature. I have photos for most of my Contacts
and have found I now spend less time reading when searching for a Contact --
it's easier to find them by their photo than to read -- and it's the same
for incoming email messages. I see who the email is from immediately without
the need to scan the From line in the message header.

OH GOOD!! :) I thought my picture, which is actually of my son, was showing up on emails that I
was sending to companies.

Thank you very much... I feel much better now :)
