I'm leaving for the movies, right now, so we'll have to continue tomorrow.

Thanks Broni for your help.  My computer is definitely running faster even though all those pictures are still there. 

There is something on my desktop that I would like to get rid of.  It wasn't there before.  The words "Windows XP Home Edition" etc.  How do I get rid of that?

Where on your desktop is it? It may be not possible to remove it. Was it always there?

 The Windows XP Home Edition is on the lower right hand corner of my desktop.  It was never there before.

I find the pictures when I go to search and check pictures and videos.  Some of my pictures are there but 95% of them are weird pictures and I have no idea how they got there.

Since we did all that security cleaning, delete all those unwanted pictures, and watch closely, if they'll reappear.

A friend told me not to delete them because they maybe related to programs.  I'm afraid to delete them.  When you do a search on your computer for pictures and videos how many do you have?

Templates from photo editing programs?

I don't know of any videos, being needed by your OS.
There are some graphic files (like icons) needed by some programs, but they are located in particular program's folder.
It'd helpful, if you state in what folder you have those files.

I think they are all in different folders.  When you do a search for pictures doesn't it check all the folders for pictures?

Yes.
In that case, I think, you need to take couple of days off, and check those pictures one-by-one. I can't imagine any other advice, since I don't want you to delete your own pictures.

A word of advice...your HijackThis is in a temporary location where it (and its backups) will eventually be deleted.  I would advise moving (or re-downloading) it to a new permanent location where it can be kept safely.

Also...those pictures probably aren't anything to worry about.  Most of them are probably from various programs/games/whatever.  They should be harmless.  However, if you would like to clear up some space, you could go through them all and try to determine if there are any you can safely get rid of.  Keep in mind that this will probably take you quite awhile.
