1. Quite wonderfully when I drag the JPG's out of my temp internet folder into a permanent location it asks me how to handle the duplicates. I save them and let Vista name them. They end up with (2).jpg at the end of the name. 2. What I haven't figured out how to do is search for just those files. (2) doesn't hack it because ( and ) have a special meaning.
