When friends attache a picture with the jpeg extension, we click on the picture to download it to the screen and it isn't working like that. For awhile the picture downloaded to the desktop but now it doesn't appear there either. Where is the picture downloading to?

The download location usually is "my documents/downloads" directory. You can view and change it in tools -> options window, general panel, the 'downloads' section.
