No, TIF or TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files are not Temporary Internet
files, they are images. .TIF is used instead of TIFF because of old
limitations on the size of filenames (8 characters for name + 3 for
extension).

However, it's possible that you might find at TIF file in a temporary
internet file folder. These folders are basically the location of the
Internet Explorer browser cache. So, if you viewed a TIF file as part of a
web page, it may be located in one of the temporary folders.

You'll need to search for the file, though if you scanned the file recently,
the scanner program may remember where it last saved or what it last
displayed.

You can use the Windows search utility to locate any .TIF files on the
system. You may need to tell the search to look in all folders including
hidden folders. From there, if you remember any more of the name, you can
narrow the search.

An excellent free search utility is Agent Ransack. It's much faster than
the Windows utility.

How you make business cards depends on the software you're going to use.
Some retail business card stock comes with, or will mention where you can
download templates for use with Word. You create one, then copy it and
paste it into the rest of the cells. Then you print, but it's a good idea
to print on ordinary paper first.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain everything.
1) I found my scanned picture!! I found it in HP Photosmart.
2) The Windows Search program could not find it, so I thank you for the tip
of another search program.
3) Still working on the business card, since I don't have Word. Too bad,
sooo sad.

TIF files are a graphic format. Temp internet files have a "tmp" extension.
 >> Stay informed about: TIF files 

The file extension .tif (tagged image format) files are image files whether
scanned or downloaded.

In this forum, "TIF" seems to be an acronym people are using for "temporary
internet files" which includes images, web pages, cookies, etc.
