Diane, if I'm following you correctly, images saved before you
unchecked Photoshop's icon preference would indeed still have the
icon/preview file. The only way to get rid of the icon is to either
recreate the file (ideal approach to preserve quality of JPEGs) or
open and resave the file.

PCs and Macs do handle previews/icons differently. I think it has
something to do with Macs reading the resource fork part of a file.
Oddly, I just went over to my PC to experiment, and noticed that
Kathryn's file that downloads as a 64k JPEG with preview on my Mac,
measures 31k on my PC and has no preview. I need to do some research
on this issue and will get back to the list with more info.
